JAPANESE PRINCESS MAKO GIVES UP ROYAL STATUS TO MARRY COMMONER,HOW LOVELY

By
Image
Japanese Princess Mako, the eldest granddaughter of Emperor Akihito, will give up her royal status to marry a former classmate who once worked as a "Prince of the Sea" to promote tourism. Japanese media reported the union would stoke debate on the ever-shrinking royal family since the princess must become a commoner after she marries. The country's cabinet is expected to approve a bill on Friday to allow Akihito, 83, to step down, the first abdication by a Japanese emperor in nearly two centuries, after he said last August he feared age would make it hard to fulfil his duties. But the legislation will make no reference to the controversial topics of whether to revise a males-only succession law or to allow women to stay in the imperial family after marriage, a move conservatives fear would be a first step to letting women inherit the throne. Asked about the shortage in royals, Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga told a news conference on Wednesday: "The...

Mr. Ibru said he took the move in the overall interest of the company and the larger Ibru family.

Mr. Ibru called on the younger generation of Ibrus to work with other shareholders to continue to carry on the torch of excellence for which Ikeja Hotels has been k...

From time immemorial, Nigeria has been faced with the nail-biting problem of inconsistent power supply. Owei Lakemfa, here, examines the sad power situation. When God created the world, according to the Bible, it was dark. God said 'Let there be light, and there was light'. The probable exception has been Nigeria, where for over fifty years, the people have been subjected to almost eternal darkness. The senior staff of the power sector complained in 1988 that the country was neither maintaining its power plants nor were there solid plans to expand ther capacities. Over these, they went on strike. The Babangida regime saw this as an affront, rounded up eleven of the workers leaders and put them on trial for treason, demanding the death penalty. They eleven were sentenced to life imprisonment. The Obasanjo administration spent $15 billion purchasing darkness for the country. The Jonathan administration thought it had a brilliant idea; privatise the power sector, thereby save the ...
