A trader, Damilola Osilulu, on Tuesday told an Ile-Tuntun Customary Court in Ibadan that she beats her husband because he orders her around on how she should live her life. Testifying before Chief Henry Agbaje, the President of the court, Damilola countered her husband’s accusation, claiming that her husband complains a lot and also makes

s demands from her.

“Sometimes, Akinkunmi orders me to do senseless things and I don’t obey him. However, if I see wisdom in his demands, I try as much as possible to come down to his level. If I can’t take his nonsense, I hit him straight away because Akinkunmi feels he is the husband, and that he is also lord over me,” Damilola said.

 

Earlier in his account, Akinkunmi a printer, said that he filed  the divorce suit to bring an end to his wife’s domination over his affairs, NAN reports. “My lord, Damilola does not want me to have a say in the house as she challenges my authority. If I ask her to do anything, she questions my authority and violently attacks me.

 

“This is to the extent that people keep coming to our  matrimonial home for settlement of rift every now and then.  Only God knows what would have happened if I had reacted to her frequent attacks against me. Enough of Damilola’s nagging; I cannot continue to stand her disrespect. Besides, she doesn’t take proper care of our three-year-old child” Akinkunmi added.

 

In ruling, Agbaje prevailed on the couple to exercise more patience. He advised relatives of both parties to do the needful by settling the matter. Agbaje then adjourned the case until Aug. 31 for judgment.

Guinness World Records is saddened to learn that Bob Weighton, who held the title for the oldest person living (male), has passed away due to cancer. Our thoughts and condolences are with Mr. Weighton’s family at this difficult time. 

His family confirmed that he died peacefully in his sleep this morning (Thursday 28 May 2020) at his flat in Alton, Hampshire, UK.  

Bob Weighton was officially confirmed as the oldest person living (male) at 112 years and 1 day on 30 March 2020.

Amidst the UK rules around social distancing, a GWR adjudicator was unable to meet Bob in person as they normally would to celebrate the remarkable milestone.

Instead, the assisted living home where Bob lived arranged for Happy Birthday to be sung to him on his balcony. He was then presented with his certificate, all from a safe distance.

"It's sad having to say goodbye to Robert so soon after awarding him his certificate for oldest living man. I feel honoured in having had the chance to meet this unique individual - albeit virtually - and to celebrate his life in the pages of our book. Our thoughts are with this family, who I hope will see his entry as a lasting memorial to a remarkable man." - Craig Glenday, Editor-in-chief, Guinness World Records

Bob was born on March 29th 1908, in Kingston-Upon-Hull, Yorkshire and was one of seven children.  

Bob later lived and worked in Taiwan, then Canada during World War II, before returning to the United Kingdom once the war ended in 1945.

Once settled back in the UK, Bob took up a teaching position at City University, London. 

Bob is survived by three children, 10 grandchildren and 25 great-grandchildren.

When told of his record-breaking achievement back in March, Bob said;

“I can’t say I am pleased to hear that the previous holder has died but I am very pleased that I've been able to live so long and make so many friends”.

The oldest person ever to have lived is Jeanne Calment (France), who lived to be 122 years and 164 days, and the oldest man ever is Jiroemon Kimura (Japan), who was born on 19 April 1897 and passed away aged at the age of 116 years and 54 days on 12 June 2013. 

The oldest person living is Kane Tanaka (Japan, b. 2 January 1903) who lives in Fukuoka, Japan. 

Guinness World Records is currently investigating the title for the oldest person living (male). Further information will be announced upon confirmation of the next record holder.

I hope you are well. Like very well? The world is not so friendly these days. Everyone is on the edge. Even a forced smile can calm nerves and at the same call for a slap, hahaha.

Away from that you all, manipulation is my problem now or better still, the art of it. You know, a lot of people have mastered this art so much that they don’t even need to get into a certain mood or plan it before they manipulate people.

How do you think some parents encourage their children into entering wrong careers, taking wrong choices, or the very common case in this part of my world, marriage?

There were two bubbling girls I knew. Both of the same mother and father. They had no striking difference in their persons except for personality, face, talents and goals.

One day, this young promising man came. He came for marriage. He wanted the eldest amongst both of them. Parents were happy for alas, a prince charming had come riding on a horse to whisk their daughter into a wonderland flowing with milk and honey. They had it sealed already in their minds, both parent for they had already handed her over.

When they finally remembered the act of asking the said girl, they called her all smiles with an underline threat hidden just beneath it. Not so far away. Our girl said no. School was the goal. After that, anything else could follow. Right there in front of prince charming, the mother had pounced on her with words. She began to remind her of the days of hunger and how now, she sleeps with a full stomach without anyone having to drag food in the house. She reminded her of the rent and how often the landlord visits was until prince charming came literally riding in and boom, issues are all solved.

She was giving a choice. Marry him or get out of the house. She chose the latter and the junior sister happily filled her shoes. Now our girl, the junior sister is a bag, a punching one and the user, our prince charming.

Manipulation isn’t always negative. A mother can cry her way into making her child become useful and at the same, useless. Choose what to use this power for.

Have a good night💤💤💤. Dream of the kingdom with sweet chocolate drizzle.🙀🙀🙀🙀
