Mixed reactions as fashion designer Veekee James sprayed dollars while her husband sprayed Naira on a couple at a recent wedding.
Majority of the opinion of pool felt her action was not sensitive as it sh@med her husband to be p%%r while she is rich and that she could have shared the Dollars into two for both of them to have it and spray on the couple.
Another opinion was that Femi, Veekee James husband, was a real man and refused to be intimidated by his wife but gorgeously carried what he had and gave it to the couple as another man would have asked for a share of the Dollar to polish his ego.

CVS Health (CVS) stock tumbled about 5% in Friday after the pharmacy and healthcare giant announced the replacement of Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Karen Lynch with David Joyner, a longtime company veteran who most recently ran Caremark, its pharmacy benefit manager (PBM).
Joyner is taking the top job effective immediately, CVS said, as the company has weathered a difficult year of sales at its namesake pharmacies and problems with its bets on Medicare coverage that have led it to lower its full-year outlook several times already.
Newly appointed executive chairman Roger Farah said the board believes it was "the right time to make a change," and said Joyner's decades of experience with CVS "can help us more directly address the challenges our industry faces" and make necessary changes.
In addition to the CEO swap, CVS also provided preliminary guidance for third-quarter profit, projecting earnings per share (EPS) between 3 cents and 8 cents, and adjusted EPS of $1.05 to $1.10. Analysts are expecting EPS of $1.27, and adjusted EPS of $1.69, according to consensus estimates compiled by Visible Alpha.
The company is set to report third-quarter earnings Nov. 6, and said the lackluster projections are connected to costs related to its Medicare operations and other one-time expenses like store closures.
first reported the news that the CEO change was imminent, sending CVS stock lower Friday morning. The stock is down more than 20% this year.

Netflix (NFLX) shares surged to a record high Friday, a day after the streaming giant’s third-quarter earnings beat expectations, with several analysts raising their price targets for the stock.
Bank of America boosted its price target to $800 from $740, calling Netflix “one of the best positioned companies within media,” with multiple growth drivers including its “burgeoning ad business.” Netflix’s ad-supported membership grew 35% quarter-over-quarter, and the company said it expects to launch an ad tech platform in 2025.
Analysts at JPMorgan lifted their price target even higher, to $850 from $750, and called Netflix a "top pick," citing its "strong leadership position" with a “virtuous circle of strong subscriber growth, more revenue, and growing profit.”
Including Bank of America, about three-quarters of the 20 analysts covering Netflix tracked by Visible Alpha held a "buy" or equivalent rating for the stock as of Friday, though their average price target at $777.21 was not far off from Friday's closing price.
Shares of Netflix jumped over 11% to close at $763.89 Friday and have gained nearly 57% since the start of the year.
Netflix's gains came despite some programming challenges, calling it “patchier than normal,” due to the lingering impacts of actors and writers strikes in 2023, and said “volume has picked up again.”
Netflix said it delivered several hits in the quarter, with “The Perfect Couple” starring Nicole Kidman and Liev Schreiber drawing 65.2 million views, while romantic comedy “Nobody Wants This" with Kristen Bell and Adam Brody drew 37 million.

Former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, has mourned the passing of his aide, who tragically slumped and di£d in an Abuja hotel after spending time with an individual.
He said, it is with great sadness that I announce the passing of my devoted Special Assistant, Mr. Ndifreke Saviour Mark, who was with me for no less than 34 years.
He left home at 5.40am on the morning of Sunday 13th October for morning Mass as he was a devoted Catholic and member of the Catholic Church of Assumption, Asokoro after which he went to a hotel by the name of Mildy Lodge and Apartments in Garki, Abuja.
According to the police he took a room at the hotel and spent some time there with an individual after which he apparently slumped and did in that individual’s presence. He was taken to Asokoro District Hospital, was pronounced dead upon arrival and has since been put in the hospital morgue.
The individual he was with at the time of his de ith in the hotel is now in police custody and I have insisted on a full criminal investigation of the matter and an autopsy. The hotel receptionist has also been detained by the police whilst both the manager and the owner of the hotel were invited for questioning earlier this week.
The entire hotel was also sealed up by the police for two days and the room in which he lodged remains sealed till today.
I have broken the sad news to his family, I have met with his wife Barrister Patience Ndifreke-Mark and his Uncle, Mr. Clement Mathias, (who represented his family) and I have also told them of my intention to ensure that, if indeed there is any foul play, justice is done and those behind it are brought to book.
Mark was like a son to me and his passing is a huge blow to me and my entire family. We shared many dreams and aspirations and fought many battles together shoulder to shoulder. Now he has gone it has left much pain but I give thanks to God for his life and for the 52 years that he spent on earth.
I have assured his wife and family of my intention to stand by them at this difficult time and to ensure that they do not lack or want for anything. I have absolute confidence in the FCT Police Command to get to the bottom of this matter after which we can proceed to bury a man that was my most loyal staff and most trusted aide.
Most important of all is the fact that he was a kind, reliable and compassionate soul who brought joy to many and who was incapable of hurting a fly. I will never forget him and though he has passed he lives on in our hearts. I thank all those that have found the time to come and mourn with us at this difficult time. May Ndifreke’s precious soul rest in peace and may the Lord comfort his wife and two beautiful young children.
