A Nigerian lady most definitely has broken the gallant heart of a military man after she rejected his marriage proposal and the reason she gave – although, practical – is just overwhelming.
According to the soldier who shared his heartbreak story, he and the lady had been dating for five years, before he decided to pop the question only for him to be turned down.
The soldier revealed that the lady’s love towards him swerved after he joined the armed forces and was posted to Maiduguri in Borno state and as such, she said she won’t be able to marry him because she doesn’t know when he will die.
Read his tear jerking story below,
“I met this girl for over five years now and we have been dating,she made me to believe that she loves me so much, that she can’t do without me. I showed all the love as much as I can provided her with everything. Two Years after meeting her,i joined the army and I was posted to Maiduguri and I have been there making plans on how to get married to this lady not knowing that she has her own plans.
Since I joined the military, her attitude changed a little bit though I can’t figure out what’s actually the problem.not until I came back to propose to girlfriend with my heart full of joy hoping to get a positive answer, all of a sudden this lady looked into my eyes and said she can’t marry me, we can date but she won’t be able to marry me because she don’t know when i will die.
Since then I have been in thinking mood because I can’t believe what I heard from the lady I love so much.

The former Vice President said this in a statement to DAILY POST on Sunday signed by his Special Assistant on Youth and Support Groups Ambassador Aliyu Bin Abbas.
Atiku assured millions of his supporters in the last elections, that victory was sure.
He titled the statement, ‘A MESSAGE OF HOPE TO THE OVER 18 MILLION ATIKULATED FAMILY MEMBERS.’
“Like never before in the history of presidential election petition in Nigeria, the plethora, overwhelming, watertight and barefaced evidences at the disposal of Alhaji Atiku Abubakar and the PDP has put us on a track to glory,” he said.
He appreciated the efforts, doggedness and determination of his supporters to bring about a new Nigeria where businesses and investment will thrive, when Wazirin Adamawa reclaims his mandate at the tribunals.
He added, “It is just the believe and confidence you had that made many of you to travel far and wide, even twice for some, risking everything to cast your votes for his Excellency Alhaji Atiku Abubakar/Peter Obi.
“Some of you may have never voted before, but because you believed in #TheAtikuPlan and you wanted a new Nigeria to be birth by Wazirin Adamawa and Peter Obi, you chose to endure all the stress, including those of collecting PVC and joining the queue to cast your vote under the scorching sun.
“It is a public knowledge that some of you had to even paid money to collect your PVCs in some places like Lagos among others, a very sad and embarrassing situation,” he said.
He told them not to despair, but remain resolute.
“Right now, our dream of a #BetterNigeria may seem to have been dashed by the cowardice behavior of the chairman of INEC, caving in to the desperation of the APC to cling to power at all costs.
“But I want to tell everyone of us that the good news is there’s light at the end of tunnel. The vision to Atikulate a new Nigeria is alive.
“Be optimistic as you have always been because the JOURNEY to reclaiming the stolen mandate to create #BetterJobs for the millions of unemployed youth of this country, provide #BetterLife and #GetNigeriaWorkingAgain WILL SURELY BE FRUITFUL because TRUTH is on our side.
“Whatever is the case, we insist and call on the judiciary, the last hope of the common man to remain resolute and dispense justice to the Nigerian people without fear or favor. Nigeria is bigger than anybody and will outlived all of us.
“Ladies and gentlemen of the Atikulated family, keep the faith.”

Nigerian actress, Georgina Onuoha has taken to her Instagram to react to actress, Regina Daniels ‘marriage’ to 59-year-old billionaire, Ned Nwoko.
Her reaction is coming after photos and video of Regina and Ned at an event hit the internet yesterday.
According to Georgina, she made her choice with the endorsement of her mother, and she wishes her happiness even though she will never endorse teen marriage as a parent and mother.
She wrote;
Ok everyone, please stop sending me DMs and tags about this young woman. I don’t know her nor have I met her.
No one has made you nor I a judge over her or her decisions even though my name is Georgina and not Regina. The last time I checked, I did not go to a law school neither was I appointed a judge. It’s her life, her business and her propagative.
When those before her are busy flaunting private jet and fake plastic ass, most of you did not cry wolf.
She has made her choice with the endorsement of her mother behind her to be a teen bride or adult bride, so let her be.
Most of her senior colleagues are busy sleeping with old politicians, pastors , fly to Dubai to sleep with old wrinkled Arabic men and married men and you all go hail them as slay queens. You endorse bad behavior as hard work.
Islam permits more wives and she has made her choice. While I don’t and will never endorse teen marriage as a parent and mother, I wish her best of luck in all her endeavors.
In my days, some followed yahoo and 419 boys for extra stretch limousines, where are they today? Some teen brides have go on to make something out of themselves by pursuing academics.
What is morally corrupt is the Nigerian society that celebrates immorality and go agog with it with impunity. So please, don’t DM me or tag me on such nonsense. Her life and choice.
I don’t pay her bills and will encourage her to equally pursue education regardless. So please people address the problems facing our nation and let Regina deal with her private life.
If you dm me again I will block you. I am not her mother nor judge. Let her Be. Lets encourage education, empowerment of our youths. Books not boobs, Pens and not penis for young girls and boys. So before you tear her down, go tear down all the slay queens you hail and criminal politicians you revere and shameless pastors you worship. Regina is not your problem. Your corrupt politicians are you problems.
An Indian boy who accidentally ran over a chicken in Mizoram, India, has won a special award at his school after he took it to the hospital with his pocket money.
The 6-year-old boy who ran over the chicken, was praised by his school for his actions after a post detailing his efforts went viral on Facebook. The viral post was shared by Facebook user Sanga Says on April 2. “This young boy from Sairang, Mizoram, accidentally ran over his neighbour’s chicken.

The Facebook user told Hindustan Times that the boy, named Derek C Lalchhanhima, first returned home and begged his parents to take the chicken to the hospital. However, his father asked him to go himself. Derek eventually returned home upset because no one helped him. He even tried to go back, this time with Rs 100.
“His parents finally had to explain to him that the chick is dead and that there’s nothing they can do at the hospital,” she said, adding that Derek’s father was surprised at his son’s reaction. “He’s always been a rather unique kid,” he told her.
The post about little Derek has received over one lakh reactions, more than 87,000 shares and a ton of comments on Facebook.

A man reportedly received the beating of his life outside a cinema after he revealed the surprise ending of the new Avengers film to queuing fans who were waiting to go see the movie.
According to Taiwanese media, the man was left bloodied outside a cinema in Causeway Bay, Hong Kong, after watching Avengers: Endgame.
A photo of the man has circulated online, according to AsiaOne, and shows him sitting down on a blood-spattered pavement.
It was reported the queuing fans were waiting in line when the man shouted out spoilers of the final Avengers film, and then got beaten outside the cinema.
This comes after the Russo Brothers, who directed the film, wrote an open letter to fans to plead with them not to reveal the plot of the new Avengers film to people.
In a post on Twitter they said: ‘To the greatest fans in the world, this is it. This is the end.
‘The end of an unprecedented narrative mosaic spanning eleven years and eleven franchises.
‘When you see Endgame in the coming weeks, please don’t spoil it for others, the same way you wouldn’t want it spoiled for you.
‘Remember, Thanos still demands your silence.
‘As always, good luck and happy viewing.’
The pair singed off the letter and wrote a hashtag at the bottom – #DontSpoilTheEndgame.
Just do something nasty! Do something crazy! Say something against Feminist! Or Be a Feminist! Drag Davido! Claim Wizkid is your Baby Mama.. Or Flaunt Whatever asset you got! And Then Share on Social media!

Regina Daniels and Ned Nwoko are still trending.. and they’d probably trend for the rest of this week.. and we are here for that!
The whole fracas started after she made her first public appearance with the billionaire, believed to be her husband.
The Billionaire was honored with a Honorary Degree at the Federal University of Petroleum Resources Effurun (FUPRE), Delta State.
She was also seen dancing and digging it with the billionaire. (Watch Video Here).

Again, It’s been rumoured that Ned Nwoko, who is a lawyer and politician married Regina as his 6th wife but it’s yet to be confirmed.
Facebook’s CEO, Mark Zuckerberg built a glowing wooden box to help his wife, Dr. Priscilla Chan, sleep better.
Explaining why he built her a ‘sleep box’, the said;
‘being a mom is hard, and since we’ve had kids Priscilla has had a hard time sleeping through the night. She’ll wake up and check the time on her phone to see if the kids might wake up soon, but then knowing the time stresses her out and she can’t fall back asleep’.
So I worked on building her what I call the “sleep box”. It sits on her nightstand, and between the hours of 6-7am it emits a very faint light — visible enough that if she sees it she’ll know it’s an okay time for one of us to get the kids, but faint enough that the light won’t wake her up if she’s still sleeping.
And since it doesn’t show the time, if she wakes up in the middle of the night, she knows to just go back to sleep without having to worry about what time it is. So far this has worked better than I expected and she can now sleep through the night.
As an engineer, building a device to help my partner sleep better is one of the best ways I can think of to express my love and gratitude. A bunch of my friends have told me they’d want something like this, so I’m putting this out there in case another entrepreneur wants to run with this and build sleep boxes for more people
Paris Saint German star, Neymar, might have just put himself in trouble again after he was caught on camera throwing a punch at a fan after his team lost the Coupe de France final to Rennes in a penalty shootout on Saturday night.

The decision of an upper Shari’ah court sitting in Tudun Wada, Zaria, to sentence three rapists to one year imprisonment with an option of N7,000 fine has generated controversy in the ancient city.
The judge of the court, Malam Iliyasu Muhammad Umar, during the ruling said the prosecution led by Sergeant Adamu Yahaya, convinced the court, therefore the three suspects will serve one year jail term or pay N7,000 fine with 20 strokes of the cane.
While presenting his case at the court, Prosecutor Yahaya said the offence committed by the suspects contravenes sections 222 and 117 of the Penal Code. According to investigation, the trio, Hassan Suleiman, Ibrahim Usman and Adamu Audu, lured their victims of between nine and ten years while on the way to school, while Hassan Suleiman and Ibrahim Usman used to intercept the 9-year-old girl on her way to school and rape her. Adamu Audu’s victim is the 10-year-old girl.
The two girls are both attending an LEA Primary School in the Tudun Jukun area of Zaria. According to the officials of a voluntary community association, Gyara Kayanka, who arrested the suspects, the rape of the victims had been going on for many months before the suspects met their waterloo.
Many residents of Zaria and human rights activists have condemned the verdict of the judge, especially that he did not support his decision with any provision of Islamic jurisprudence, as Shari’ah is the status of the court. Kaduna State Commissioner for Women Affairs, Hafsat Mohammed Baba, when contacted said the new law being used in the state says thus:
“Section 31; (1) No person shall have sexual intercourse with a child. (2) A person who contravenes the provision of subsection (1) of this section commits an offence of rape and is liable on conviction to imprisonment for life. (3) Where a person is charged with an offence under this section, it is immaterial that:
“(a) the offender believed the person to be of or above the age of eighteen years or age of puberty; or (b) the sexual intercourse was with the consent of the child. (4) “Notwithstanding any enactment or rules of law to the contrary, reliable medical, scientific or other physical electronic evidence of rape shall be sufficient to secure a conviction under this section; consequently, the prosecution and the court may dispense with the oral testimony of a parent or of the child victim.”
She said her ministry would follow up the case to ensure justice is served, saying that the verdict of the court would only encourage rapists. The District Head of Tudun Jukun, Zaria, Alhaji Jibrin Yakubu, urged parents to always monitor the movement of their wards. “School authorities should also interrogate those pupils that report late to school.
“This can assist in tracing this type of attitude and those engage in it can be easily exposed,” Alhaji Yakubu said. The Prosecutor, Sergeant Yahaya, said the charges prepared against the suspects were on “procration of a minor” not rape, saying that there is a difference between the two. However, Hajiya Hafsa had debunked the position of the prosecutor, saying that the two are the same, and the law has provided for stiffer punishment.

Queen D. Tardoo is a beautiful young lady who hails from Benue state and is said to be the first lady to study Aeronautical Engineering from the state.
In an interview with Wisdom Nwedene, Igbere TV & 9news Nigeria editor, Tardoo shares how she became first lady from Benue State to study Aeronautical Engineering.
She narrated the challenges she experienced studying the course in Philippines. She also revealed that she studied Computer science at Benue State University before she traveled to Philippines to obtain her second degree.
Read excerpts below,
How do you feel being the first girl to study Bs Aeronautical Engineering from Benue State?
“I am overwhelmed with joy. It hasn’t being am easy journey. I also feel blessed, honoured and accomplished. I was always told aviation especially aeronautical engineering wasn’t for women. But I have had to opportunity to prove that wrong. It is also a responsibility to motivate other women, especially from benue state and make them understand that they can do even greater things regardless of their gender.”
Which part of Benue State are you from?
“I am tiv, from Ushongo Local Government Area”
Can you tell us about the University which you studied this course?
“I studied in two different schools. I started my course in the year 2014 at PATTS college of aeronautics, paranaque, Metro Manila Philippines. Studied there from 2014 – 2017. Then I transferred to Holy Angel University, Angeles City, Philippines. Studied there from 2017 – 2019.”
Wow! That’s nice. Did you study in any university in Nigeria before travelling to Philippines?
“Yes. I studied in Nigeria. B.S Aeronautical Engineering is actually my 2nd Bachelor’s Degree. I took up B.Sc Computer science at Benue State University, Makurdi.”
That’s very great. You look pretty young. Can you tell us about your age? And having studied both in Nigeria and Philippines, is there any difference in the system of education?
“I am 28years old.”
“Yes. There is a difference. The Philippines has adopted the American system of education which is quite different from the system in Nigeria. Both systems of education have their pros and cons.”
What made you to achieve this feat?
“Determination, perseverance, hard work, support from my family and friends (most especially from my mum) and most importantly God’s mercy and blessings.”
Does your mom live in Philippines or she is in Nigeria?
“She lives in Benue state, Nigeria.”
Can you tell us about a project that you worked on in school. Did you run into any difficulties? If so, how did you handle it?
“I worked on a few projects while in school both academic and extra curricular ones. Hence, I am the reigning Miss Holy Angel University, Philippines. I am always involved in one project or the other. But, the one project I am most proud of is my final research work. I worked on a birdstrike prevention project for my final research in 5th year. A project feasibility study which had to do with the use of laser lights to prevent bird-aircraft crash.(birdstrikes). And this particular project won me a medal as the best thesis of the year 2019 in the Aeronautical engineering department of Holy Angel University, Philippines.”
What challenges did you encounter in the process of achieving this feat?
“There were alot of challenges, being a black person in an Asian country isn’t always great. You experience a lot of racism and it affects you as a student. Also, being female in a field that is considered to be for the male gender is also not easy. You have to prove yourself all the time, you are always stereotyped to be not competent enough. Aeronautical engineering itself is very challenging. You have to study extra hard and make a lot of sacrifices, but it will always be worth it in the end.”
What motivates and inspires you?
“My mother has always been my inspiration. She is the strongest person I know and everytime I think of the sacrifices she makes for me. I want to be a better person not just for me but for her. I have also cultivated the habit of turning my challenges into motivations. Whatever challenge I face at a particular time, I try to extract some positivity from that situation, make sure I learn from it and build myself into a better human being.”
What are your hobbies?
“My hobbies. I am an athlete as well so I like athletic events, I like to play volleyball, go bowling, watch sports channels, especially football. I also like to read, dance, listen to music and taking a walk on the beach with my bare feet.”
Who are your mentors?
“My number one mentor will still be my mother. She contributed alot in molding me into the person that I am today. I find myself looking up to her and learning a lot from her. I have always wished to develop myself into the kind of woman that she is and by God’s grace even better.”
Do you have plan of coming back to Nigeria since you have finished your study over there?
“Nigeria will always be my home and I can return at anytime. But the goal right now is to further my studies, obtain alot of licences and also work at the same time. Hence, there isn’t any university in Nigeria that offers a master is aeronautical or aerospace engineering. I will not be returning home immediately. But, I will visit from time to time.”
