How did you spend your Christmas?
Honestly was working till 6pm on Christmas day. A lady I covered her wedding last year 2013 booked me for her daughter`s birthday party which was the same day as Xmas day, been a man of my word I had to, even though my wife and kids were mumbling..but it was all fun as I came back home before dinner to celebrate with my family. “One’s family is the most important thing in life. I look at it this way: Govern a family as you would cook a small fish – very gently.   AS MY PLANS FOR THE NEW YEAR.... Simply be the best in my craft. 2014 has been awesome

Any plans for the New year?
Life is beautiful and in 2015 am keeping my head high, chin up, and most importantly, keep smiling, because life’s a beautiful thing and there’s so much to smile about. Thank you lady Prim

INSPIRATIONAL: MEET NIGERIA'S FIRST BLIND PHOTOGRAPHER TAIWO LAWAL

This is one of the the most inspiring story I have read this year,  please enjoy and be inspired

After the tripod was set, the photographer checked the angles to ensure the ‘balance’ was good. She then felt the buttons on the camera. Then, she looked into the lens. Camera. Ready. Action!
You may consider this the ordinary routine of a photographer. Yes it is. But, what makes it extraordinary is that Taiwo Lawal, the photographer, is totally blind.

Lawal, 35, felt her way round the tripod to our correspondent and explained with a smile, “At the start, I kept wondering how a blind person could learn photography. I thought it was impossible. But the person who introduced me to it said it was possible. So, I agreed to do it.” Read more

When Mrs Adebimpe Jibade tied the nuptial knot with Akinbode Jibade on the 22nd of October 1988, little did she know that the relationship would end up in this bizarre state.

They had courted for about a year and decided to make the relationship a lasting one by sealing it with the union of marriage which they professed to uphold till death do them part, in sickness and in health. However, the story today is far from that anticipated beginning, as Akinbode is threatening fire and brimstone that if Deborah his wife of twenty five years does not go far away from him and out of his life in one piece, he is going to ensure that peace is far from her.

While speaking with Daily Times, 45 year old Adebimpe amidst tears disclosed how she had been forced to get married at an early age of barely twenty and how her once loving and caring husband suddenly became a monster who is now threatening to kill her if she dares come close to him.

“I am glad that the APC eventually took my advice and saw the wisdom in not fielding a muslim/muslim ticket for the 2015 Presidential election even though I hear that, right up till the last minute, they almost did. 
I congratulate my friend and brother Professor Yemi Osinbajo on his nomination as the Vice Presidential candidate of the APC and running mate to General Muhammadu Buhari.
I have known Yemi for a number of years and I must say that he is not only a very pleasant and civilised person with a warm and gentle disposition but he is also a cerebal lawyer with a brilliant mind. I have immense respect for him.
Yet sadly ever since I heard about his nomination and announcement as Buhari's running mate I have felt nothing but sheer pity for him and a deep sense of pathos. My counsel and words for him are as follows:
