His older brother, Idhebor, also a popular Lagos-based filmmaker, broke the news on Facebook on Wednesday. Both brothers co-owned a film production company called 'BCBLUNT Films'. The deceased was one of the sons of a veteran journalist, Caesar Kagho.  Although the circumstances surrounding his death remain sketchy, multiple reports by his friends on Facebook claim the deceased was at a movie location with other crew members when he fell into the pool. They said the director might have drowned because he could not swim. Before his death, the late filmmaker was working on a documentary, titled 'My Father's Book.' The Akpor brothers had worked together on different projects. They were both nominated as best Cinematographer and Best Script Writer at the 2014 African Magic Viewers Choice Award (AMVCA) for their short film 'Living Funeral'. The film was further screened at various international film festivals, including the Festival de Cannes short film corner.

" We are a licensed logistics company to carry out medical evacuation operations and was engaged to airlift an individual who suffered a serious health challenge while caught in traffic and needed emergency evacuation on the day in question. " The Benin – Ore road evacuation was conducted in close collaboration with security agencies , the Nigerian Army and Nigerian Police worked assiduously in trying to clear the gridlock caused by the on going road construction. " They directed us to a clear portion of the road where the operation was handled free from any incident."  | ||

Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, the immediate past minister of Transportation, immediate past governor of Rivers State and two-time Director-General of the President Muhammadu Buhari Presidential Campaign. "As we write this, we are aware that attempts are been made to peddle all sorts of fictitious, misleading and outrightly concocted stories, distorted and manipulated documents that would smudge the image and cast aspersions on the character, integrity and high morals of Amaechi, an astute and accomplished public servant.

"One aspect of the reprehensible conspiracy is to unscrupulously drag the name of Amaechi and a member of his immediate family into the internal affairs and operations of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) in a manner and way that is designed and intended to bring disrepute and opprobrium to his character and reputation. Besides this, there are other aspects and dimensions to the plot to rubbish Amaechi's image. "In respect to the NDDC, the defamation campaigners intend to create, make and push to the public space all sorts of speculative and baseless allegations against Amaechi; from the ridiculous to the puerile and completely bizarre stories backed with distorted, phoney and fake documents.

| Bill Gates reveals his “greatest mistake ever” Posted: 27 Jun 2019 04:30 AM PDT
In recent interviews, the Microsoft founder discussed Microsoft's failure to become Apple's chief iOS rival is his "greatest mistake." In a recent interview with Village Global, Bill Gates said: "In the software world, particularly for platforms, these are winner-take-all markets, so the greatest mistake ever is whatever mismanagement I engaged in that caused Microsoft not to be what Android is. Android is the standard non-Apple phone platform. There's room for exactly one non-Apple operating system." Talking about how the company failed in assigning "the best" staff to work on mobile, Gates, in an interview on Monday at the Economic Club in Washington, DC, said: "We knew the mobile phone would be very popular so we were doing what was called Windows Mobile. We missed being the dominant mobile operating system by a very tiny amount," CNN quoted Gates as saying at the event. "We were distracted during our antitrust trial. We didn't assign the best people to do the work. So it's the biggest mistake I made in terms of something that was clearly within our skill set. We were clearly the company that should have achieved that — and we didn't." Microsoft launched its mobile operating system – Windows Mobile – in 2000. Apple launched the iPhone in 2007, and Google launched Android in 2008. Bill Gates said that the misstep potentially cost the company billions of dollars that ultimately went to Google.

So usually I go with my PA and let her walk him in."

| Let him go? Do this if he never keeps to his words Posted: 27 Jun 2019 03:00 AM PDT
So far those expectations are healthy and communicated well enough, it won't be too much to ask for your partner to meet them. At least, for him to make the efforts to always do right by you. However, if you find yourself with a partner who always has a way of putting a dampener on your vibes and somehow finds a way to disappoint you at every turn, here are tips on how to handle the situation. Context and the bigger picture Be honest in your assessment of the situation; is this a regular occurrence or just a one-off situation? Also ask yourself; do I also turn up for him. While the eye-for-eye treatment is no way to relate with each other in a relationship, it still does not make sense to cry foul when you are only getting the same kind of treatment you give him. Are there acts of redemption? Sometimes, these disappointments cannot be avoided on the man's part. So what matters is how he handles the situation. His apologies will not count for much if he keeps making the same mistake, but still, before he gets to that stage where apologies no longer count; if he goes out of his way to make things right, it could be a pointer that he wants things to work. It could also be your cue to give him a little more time to get things right. There just may be enough left in him to actually turn the situation on its head. You need to retain your healthy expectations That they are not being met does not mean you have to change your expectations or lower your standards. Let him take you serious and step up his game.  Don't make excuses for him It is easy to find justifications for his actions, especially when you are trying to avoid confrontations or allegations of being dramatic or doing too much. However, you cannot afford to internalize your worries when you can talk about it and hopefully find a solution. Allowing him get away with doing next to nothing in return for all the love, affection and effort you put into the relationship is not being fair to yourself. In fact, according to Jill P. Weber Ph.D. for Psychology Today, "men who are emotionally mature enough and ready for commitment report that they want to be told directly by the women in their lives what they actually want when it comes to love and commitment. "Working hard at a relationship and not getting much in return is not a healthy choice." Let him know you can walk away for real You always have the option to leave. Keep in mind that you can leave and this is not really about threatening the other person; it's about not giving away your power in the relationship. You always have the option to walk away from something (or someone) that's truly beneath you. In This Story: #LetHimGo #Words Sharing is caring. Share this story  | ||
| Are women really terrible at apologising when they're wrong? Posted: 27 Jun 2019 02:30 AM PDT
It won't be overreaching to say that partners are bound to make mistakes and offend each other every once in a while, right? It is not a big deal, really. We know love is not about perfection. It is more about navigating weaknesses and strengthening each other. But during the process of attaining that perfect understanding, there will be times when you'll likely get it wrong, when some of your actions will hurt your partner and make them sad or unhappy. Your willingness to apologise and your partner's ability to forgive will be tested at this point, and this could determine whether you ultimately make up or breakup. So, since we are here talking about apologizing; can we talk about women, and that famed reluctance to admit wrong in relationships? The very popular notion about men and women in relationships is that you could never hear them breathe the word, "I'm sorry" and would rather do some other thing, any other thing to show [subtle] remorse, rather than say the word 'I am sorry.' So often is it said that to have a successful relationship with a woman, you have to be willing and ready to apologise when she's wrong, when you're wrong, when the kids are wrong, when everything and anything is wrong... because, well, women just don't apologise. But how true is this statement though? Is there any truth to this belief? Actually, there is no evidence to prove this belief that women never apologise when they are wrong. On the contrary, what exists is an obvious existence of partners who just would never admit that they are wrong. That egoistic assumption of infallibility and a refusal to admit wrongdoing or acknowledge a partner's grief at it, is something that can be found in both men and women. The issue of seeing one's self as being above errors and never accepting mistakes can be found in both men and women. A refusal to admit wrongdoing is a behavioural defect that's not particular to any gender, and both men and women can be victims of such difficult partners. Apparently, it's nothing more than banter that women never apologise for their wrongs in relationships, and men can also be just as guilty of that. It has nothing to do with gender.

| This is what an apology should not look like in a Relationship Posted: 27 Jun 2019 02:00 AM PDT
Here are the wrong ways to apologize: Point out they once did the same thing It doesn't matter if this partner once did the same thing to you. When apologizing, no need to mention that. Offering a qualified apology washes away its quality. Just take responsibility and offer a remorseful one. Remind them of how good you've been That you have been good for so long does not excuse you from apologizing and doing it right when you have messed up. No matter how good you have been to your partner, the possibility of making mistakes is still there, and your partner retains the right to be hurt, even if you stepped on their toes on in a while. With a nasty tone An apology doesn't mean anything if you say it with attitude. People notice it if your words are "I'm sorry" but your tone is "screw you." The words aren't enough. Tone is everything. Laying blame on something else Accept responsibility instead of blaming it on the shitty day you had at work – people have terrible days every time and never take it out on their partners. Don't blame it on alcohol or mood or other things either. Just take responsibility for your actions. Making it out to be a smaller deal Don't try to downplay what you did. All the talking in the world won't minimize the pain you caused the other person. You can't get someone to rationalize away their feelings. If you are apologising, don't do it with the intent of making your partner feel like they are overreacting. Their hurt feelings are valid and you should acknowledge that.
