Tomi and Korede - A UK-US Long Distance Love Story

In this cute love story first shared on BN by the intending couple, Tomi and Korede discuss how they met and sustained a friendship that turned to love over 7 years. Enjoy!

How we Met
From the bride to be Tomi

“I recall going to the States (Maryland) to visit my aunty in February 2007. I was so excited! On the Sunday after I got there I decided to go to church with my aunt whilst my mum stayed at home. At the end of the service, the pastor asked for visitors to stand and introduce themselves. I did just that, told the church my name and that I was from London and some people were intrigued, Korede being one of them, Lol.

He came to introduce himself as the pastor’s son and that was how the journey of friendship began. I was excited that I had a fellow young person to always chill with anytime I went visiting. Getting back to the UK I added him on Facebook and that’s how we were able to stay in contact.

I loved the way he spoke so I’d always call to keep in touch but later gave up since he actually never called, and I was not ready to always be the one calling.

WATCH - Beyonce Performs Full Album Receives Video Vanguard Award From JayZ and Blue Ivy

Beyonce and Jay Z put the rumors of imminent divorce to rest at the MTV Video Music Awards last night after the couple kissed and appeciated each other as Jay Z and Blue presented Beyonce with the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard award.

He called her “the greatest living entertainer” and she called him "my beloved". Beyonce was crying as she took her award from her husband and her young daughter. She said;

“I have nothing to say, but I’m filled with so much gratitude,” Beyoncé said. “I thank God for this moment. I love y’all so much. Blue Blue, I love you. My beloved, I love you. My fans, I love you. MTV, I love you. Goodnight.”

The part I liked best was Jay Z and Blue Ivy watching Beyoncé perform songs from her latest album, and all the while Blue Ivy was miming her mom's songs and flicking her hands. Enjoy the videos below...

Today, he has not only lost his sight to Boko Haram but lives with the agonizing memory of his wife being raped along with other women almost on a daily basis for three months.

Dating Naked Couple To Get Married In Naked Wedding

I'm such a sucker for dating shows, lol and I squeed when Dating Naked episode 6 ended and in the round-up credits, it was shown that one of the couples was getting married!

The reality TV show was described as "a dating experiment", and it had worked out for one couple already! At the end of episode 6 which I just watched this weekend, Ashley and Alika found love after meeting on the show.

Ashley is an art therapist and Alika, a sexual healer, both lovers of tattoos, spiritualism and being natural. It was no big surprise when they hit it off in the second date of the episode, but there was some suspense as it seemed like Ashley also became attracted to her third date. Luckily, his true colors came out soon enough and she was able to decide who her heart wanted.

Usain Bolt Breaks World Indoor Record For 100m

Six-time Olympic champion Usain Bolt broke 10 seconds for the first time this season when he won a 100m race under a closed roof at the National Stadium in Warsaw on Saturday.

The Jamaican clocked 9.98 seconds into a slight breeze at the Kamila Skolimowska Memorial in front of a 20,000 crowd on a new track laid down the side of the infield.

Bolt’s first Polish outing was his third race this season as he builds up to Thursday’s Diamond League meeting in Zurich and saw him set a new best time for the infrequently run 100 indoors.

The world record holder beat the previous unofficial indoor best mark of 10.05 set by Namibian Frankie Fredericks in 1996.

Ali Baba Writes On Single Mothers Who Are Not Prepared To Cater For Their Children

Every now and then, I meet and get messages, from ladies, who either lost their jobs, widowed, pregnant and no job, the guy who impregnated them absconded, or is around but doesn't give a hoot, or working but can't meet the financial demands of raising kids on their own, or the guy agreed to having the babies and to support with their upkeep... But things happened and he couldn't come through with the promised support.

Single mothers are increasing in numbers consequent on one or two of the reasons mentioned above. And this always makes me ask, is it not possible to avoid being caught up in some of these tough situations? I know its impossible to know if you will be a widow and left with 2 or 3 kids to raise by yourself, as a mother. But when it happens, what is the solution?
