Lots of marriages fail these days as a result of the unrealistic goals and expectations that couples set before marriage. Many people venture into marriage for the wrong reasons; some cannot even say why they are in it.

Find below some of the weird things ladies check in men before marrying them;
Looters Now Keep Money In Abandoned Houses – EFCC
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission says due to the current anti-corruption war, looters have stopped keeping money in banks and have resorted to storing cash in their abandoned properties.
The acting Chairman of the EFCC, Mr. Ibrahim Magu, said this at a workshop titled, the ‘Role of Professionals in the Fight Against Corruption’ in Abuja on Friday.
Magu said, “People are now scared of keeping monies in banks, as it can be traced easily. Monies are now kept in abandoned houses in the country.”
He also charged bureau de change operators and financial institutions to desist from being used as conduit pipes to launder money.
According to him,” BDCs move billions of naira in a day and there is no proper documentation of money laundered. I appeal to the BDCs to stop that, as we will begin to prosecute bureau de change operators to serve as deterrent. Bankers are also involved in corrupt acts, as they don’t carry out due diligence.’’
Magu charged professional bodies in the country to join hands with the anti-graft agency in the fight against corruption and economic crimes.
He added, “Instead of conniving with people to launder the proceeds of corruption, I beg you to join hands with the EFCC to fight corruption.
“Many professionals celebrate criminality by doing a lot to foster corruption, which adds more to money laundering. I don’t intend to criticise the work of professionals, but to solicit their support in order to make Nigeria better for the younger generation.’’
The EFCC boss further revealed that the commission would soon be going after accounting firms that collaborate with bankers to steal government funds.
Meanwhile, Justice Fatun Riman of a Federal High Court, Kano, has granted the application of the EFCC, to try a former Skye Bank staff, Yagana Bukar, in absentia on 10 charges bordering on money laundering.
Bukar was first arraigned in October 2013 and was granted bail. The accused person, however, absconded shortly after the commencement of trial.
Prosecuting counsel, M. S. Abubakar, had applied to the court, pursuant to Section 352(4) of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act 2015, to continue with the trial despite the absence of the defendant.
Abubakar told the court that the defendant failed to appear during eight consecutive adjournments without any explanation.
The trial judge then granted the application of the prosecution, and directed the first prosecution witness, Barnabas Okakwu, a staff of Skye Bank to continue his evidence-in-chief.
Further hearing in the case has been adjourned to June 27, 2016.

Oppression Led Me To Release ‘Pick Up’ – Adekunle Gold Reveals Inspiration Behind The Song
YBNL singer, Adekunle Gold has revealed how a great feeling of oppression was what led him to release his hit song ‘Pick Up’.
Adekunle Gold narrated the event that really motivated his ‘pick up’ song, which after it dropped, became a source of motivation for some of his fans.
‘’I wrote the song six months before dropping it, I was at a gig with my manager and I was supposed to perform but the guard won’t let me in, so he was very stubborn and someone drove in and was allowed without any hesitation, so that motivated me to drop the song,” Adekunle Gold said.
The video of the song, shows a poor driver who was looking for God’s help at all cost, and after series of plea that God should pick up his call saying he wants to be rich like the Otedola’s and Dangote, eventually he got helped as God picked up his call.
Many fans have said after listening to song, their resolve grew stronger in their various walks of life.

Meet 19yrs Old Girl Who’s The World’s Youngest Billionaire (Photos)
Beautiful Alexandra Andresen is world’s youngest billionaire and she’s worth an eye-popping $1.2b…
Daily Mail reports that Alexandra comes in as one of the richest people on the planet, after inheriting millions from her business-man father Johan Andresen.
The Andresen family own Ferd, a long-running private investment company. In 2007, the Norwegian beauty shot to the top spot as the youngest billionaire in the world when her father transferred 42% of the business to her.
Her sister Katharina is just one year older, and received the exact same stake in the business.
This year Alexandra made it onto the Forbes World’s Billionaire list.
Alexandra, who recently graduated from high school, is one of Norway’s most successful horseback riders, as reported by Forbes.
The teenager’s incredible wealth was not widely known until recently, but her family’s wealth goes back in generations.
Her great-great-great grandfather bought J.L. Tiedemanns tobacco factory in 1849, which later became the country’s market-leading cigarette maker.
In 2005, the family sold the company for ethical reasons for a huge $500million.
If your father or grand father has nothing you can build on, don’t despair. Work and change the narrative.
Sacked Ministers In Guinea Sleeping At Their Offices To Protest The President’s Appointment Of A New PM
Sacked government ministers in Guinea-Bissau have been sleeping at their offices for the past seven nights, in an unusual protest against President Jose Mario Vaz’s decision to appoint a new prime minister.
“Yes, yes, it’s been a week today,” sacked Communications Minister Agnelo Regala told the BBC’s Liliane Nyatcha, when asked to confirm that they were sleeping at their old ministerial offices.
A new prime minister and new cabinet members were sworn in last week, in a move the ousted ministers regard as unlawful.
Guinea-Bissau is one of the most unstable countries in Africa, and has had several coups since independence from Portugal in 1974. It has also become a base for Latin American drug cartels and has been dubbed a narco-state, BBC reports.
300 High School Students Get Expelled For Defacing A Photo Of Burundi President
More than 300 students at a high school in Burundi have been suspended for defacing a photo of President Pierre Nkurunziza. Parents and an official said this to AFP news agency.
Other images in around 40 textbooks had also been desecrated, with insults against the president scrawled in others.
One parent who asked to remain anonymous told AFP they had apologised for the graffiti during a meeting with the school, but without success.
He said the administration told the students, aged between 14 and 16, that they could not come back to school until those responsible were “turned in”.
School director, Yves Marimba has however told AFP that “a solution has been found” but did not comment on the students’ return.
The country has been plunged into a deep crisis since President Nkurunziza announced in April 2015 that he would run for a third term, a vote he won in July amid opposition boycotts.
