Wizkid and Naira Marley shade ‘Headies 2019’ after Zlatan lost to Rema

Posted: 22 Oct 2019 02:00 AM PDT


Popular Naija musicians, Naira Marley and Wizkid have both criticized the 2019 Headies Awards ceremony which saw Zlatan Ibile lose the 'Next-rated' award to Rema.

Recall that Wizkid shut down the 02 Arena in London last night, the same time the Headies event was ongoing in Lagos, and this did not go unnoticed.


Folks wondered if he deliberately planned his show to clash with the awards ceremony, especially since he brought out most of Nigeria's top artistes to perform at his own event, leaving on a few behind for the Headies.

Now, Naira Marley, who performed at Wizkid's event yesterday, has taken to his Twitter to diss the awards event, saying that his 'legwork' at Wizkid's concert is "bigger than Headies 2019."

And Wizkid agreed with him. Check out their tweets below:

Regina Daniels stirs reactions as she deletes her Instagram account

Posted: 22 Oct 2019 12:00 AM PDT


Delectable Nollywood actress and wife to billionaire businessman, Regina Daniels has deleted her verified Instagram account.

Earlier this morning, the beautiful young actress hinted that for some reasons, she wants to deactivate her Instagram account. She however, did not state the underlying reason for her plan.

The actress who is currently on vacation in Dubai with her billionaire hubby, Ned Nwoko has never mentioned any sad event or incident that has occurred in her life recently, a major reason why her fans are shocked about the recent development.

The beautiful actress had also shared some videos and photos from the private dinner held in her honour in Dubai on her social media page. One picture which stood out was that of her billionaire husband and herself looking glamorous.

Regina Daniels’ finally speaks on her “initiation” into Aniocha women group

Posted: 21 Oct 2019 11:30 PM PDT


With 40 years difference in age, Nollywood actress, Regina Daniels, has been repeatedly vilified by all and sundry over her marriage to billionaire businessman and lawyer, Prince Ned Nwoko.

And people's shock over the marriage turned to bewilderment when the then-teenager, now 20 years was initiated into the billionaire's traditional cult for women, the Aniocha's women's group which is presumed to keep a woman away from ever marrying another man or engaging in any extramarital or face some dire consequences.

Here's is the excerpt of her response to questions sent to her in Dubai through her media manager, Ifetayo Adeniyi by Potpourri, shedding light on the initiation and other intimate things about her husband and life.

Your (Regina Daniel) initiation into Aniocha women's cult, what does it entail?

First of all, I will not call it an initiation, it is more like being welcome to womanhood and for you to be part of that group. It's an elite group, you must be married and be a woman of substance. I will say I'm even privileged to be part of that group.

As a billionaire's wife do you still play with your age mates?

Well, I have never actually liked hanging out with my age mates. I go for people that are far older than me so I could learn something from them or people who are bellow so I could teach them something and being married to my husband hasn't stopped me from relating with those people.

What do you love most about your husband (Ned Nwoko)?

His honesty. He's the most honest person I have ever met. In short, I love his honesty.

What's the next level for you (Regina Daniel) as an actress?

Business, producing, directing and of course, Hollywood.

What are the things marriage has robbed you of?

I can't think of anything because when I was single, my life was always about acting, schooling and I didn't have time for a party but now that I'm married I could go out for parties. I can even say I'm more privileged to have more opportunities now to do things than when I was single.

Can you (Regina Daniels) leave acting at the behest of your husband?

The question is, will he ask me to leave acting? First of all, I never thought about that but the man I married will never ask me to leave what I love.

This Is What Saraki’s Appointment Will Do To Bayelsa – Comrade Timi Frank

Posted: 21 Oct 2019 10:48 AM PDT


Comrade Timi Frank

Comrade Timi Frank, a former Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress, APC, has expressed support for the reconciliation panel headed by the former Senate President, Bukola Saraki in Bayelsa State.

Frank said the political experience and influence of the former Kwara State Governor had begun to yield good fruits within the rank and file in the state's ruling party, Daily Post reports.

In a statement in Abuja on Monday, Frank said the state has been a traditional PDP state since 1999 and nothing should be allowed to destroy the legacy.

The Bayelsa born activist/politician also appealed to those who are aggrieved as a result of the outcome of the primary election to give Bukola Saraki-led reconciliation panel a chance.

He expressed confidence that Senator Saraki will look at all issues and aggrieved parties dispassionately and make necessary recommendations for peace to reign.

While appealing to those who are considering leaving the PDP in the state to give Saraki panel a chance, Frank said for the sake of the party and the development of the state, they should look beyond the individuals involved in the disagreement but the larger interest of the state.

He also appealed to governor Seriaki Dickson to show commitment to whatever recommendation make by the Saraki-led panel so as to allow peace, saying going to an election as a divided house might be dangerous to the party.
"As a stakeholder in the state, I appeal to Governor Seriaki Dickson to work with the Saraki-led reconciliation committee and meet all the conditions that might have been recommended to bring about the necessary peace to stop the ongoing defection within the PDP.

"I still believe that victory is possible for the PDP in the coming governorship election if the governor and all other stakeholders will make sacrifices and give each other a sense of belonging.

"I also appeal to all the aggrieved parties to give Saraki a chance to amicably resolve their grievances because the former Senate President is known for always delivering on any assignment given to him by his party (PDP).

"The party members and Bayelsans should not forget the sacrifices and efforts of the likes of former President Goodluck Jonathan by ensuring their full support for the candidate of the PDP who is a traditional party in Bayelsa."

He, however, appealed to all the governors, National Assembly members and other national leaders to mobilise support for the party in Bayelsa to avoid a defeat.

Skin aging? Try banana peels, stop wrinkles

Posted: 21 Oct 2019 07:30 AM PDT

Banana peel comes with loads of nutrients and carbohydrate that helps the skin against wrinkles, fines lines and a lot of skin blemishes.


Banana and its peel ring in amazing beauty benefits for the skin, here's how to use it...

Facial wrinkles occur at a point in people's lives when the skin loses elasticity, becoming noticeably loose, droops and loses its firmness!

Though sometimes, skin aging and wrinkles could happen naturally, they also arise as a result of lifestyle habits like smoking, it's never pleasant and while there are a lot of over the counter creams and beauty procedures to tackle this, a natural home remedy without side effects is always a great idea.

Simple home remedies with natural ingredients are always healthy options to use for the skin as they are natural/organic and there are usually never adverse reactions.

Banana peel is easy to use to get rid of acne and its scars leaving the skin clear and blemish free and it's done in very easy steps.

To what extent do i suppose to payback a cheating partner?

Posted: 21 Oct 2019 07:00 AM PDT


It's pointless at this stage to fixate on how common cheating is, or the absurd amount of effort and secrecy it takes to keep up that kind of life.

Cheating is an unwanted reality which, unfortunately, can't easily be cleansed off the fabric of society, as highly desirable as that might be.

We once published a Twitter user's story detailing the catastrophe a man faced when his fiancée caught him cheating and refused to say anything about it until months after their marriage was sealed.

Reading the full story will give you a better insight into what really happened, and the conversations prompted by it.

Forgiveness and communication of feelings and emotions are obvious topics to be drawn out from there, of course.

But then, the story also makes one wonder: how do you deal with cheating partners?

How do you get back at them for the emotional anguish and bitter disappointment caused by their lying tongues and inability to stay faithful, committed and exclusive to you as they promised to be?

We've heard stories of women who go on cheating campaigns of their own as response to their philandering boyfriends and husbands.

Some slash tyres, smash windscreens, rear screens and dent every possible part of the men's cars. There's also the one about a certain lady who burnt a foot of all the pairs of shoes her cheating boyfriend had.

"Girls Trip" actress, Tiffany Haddish also shared during AN interview on the "Breakfast Club" that in order to get back at guy who played her, she pooped in his favourite shoes and tricked him into stepping into the shoes shortly afterwards!

That stinks, literally, but you really can't blame her, as many people have different reactions to being cheated on and anyone who intentionally cheats and breaks the heart of someone they claim to love doesn't really deserve much pity.

Should you even be getting back at someone who cheats on you?

Well, forgiveness is a great, advisable virtue but it'll be unwise and naive to expect everyone to forgive, move on and just let things go. Hell no! Not every girl is just going to cry, throw few lame punches and walk away, leaving a cheating, inconsiderate boyfriend or husband for God to judge.

For some people, the idea of letting things go involves letting out steam in one crazy form or another, and if that madness is directed at a partner who pushed them to those extremes, then fair's just fair.

However, at what point do we draw the line in these instances, and when can one be said to have crossed the line of what's acceptable as commensurate retaliation when a partner cheats and makes you feel like a fool?

Obviously criminal actions might have no justification here, and being moved to commit a felony because of a partner's unfaithfulness will not excuse you from the punishment meted out by law for such offence.

Every other thing is pretty much open to debate.

In the story referred to at the beginning of this article, the babe caught her boyfriend cheating thrice and said nothing about it. In fact she returned on one of those days to have sex with the guy. Then few months after, the guy proposed and she said yes.

They had a traditional marriage and from all indications, a lavish wedding ceremony, and still she said nothing until the marriage was signed and sealed. It then turned out that her body felt repulsed every time he initiated sex with her.

She would later confess to why she did not consummate the marriage, but that was only after pressure was mounted on her, months into the holy matrimony.

The lady in question claims she wasn't particularly out to get back at her husband. Her hope had been that marriage to him would make it easy to forgive and move past the whole issue without having to breathe a word about it.

Reactions to this story have majorly been to castigate the lady as being vindictive, petty, wicked, horrible and other similar stuff and it's really hard to not see her in that light.

It is pretty arguable that she served him a measure of disappointment mightily disproportionate to the one he served her, and that she intended it all all along.

But then, there really isn't a measurement for the amount of pain she'd have gone through, seeing him sleep around and cheat serially the way he did.

There's also no way to measure the sadness and frustration she probably felt, being unable to consummate the marriage and enjoy the pleasures of sex like every other married woman. [Mind you, she was already exposed to this fun and sweetness of sex before she married.]

So while one might be moved to make a hasty call on who is right and wrong here, it should be seen as an unregulated case of action and reaction. When you are tempted to call out the woman for fighting dirty, try to also wonder why the guy did her dirty.

Why didn't he stay away from all those other girls when he decided to get serious with her?

It'd be pleasant if everyone could stick with their partners and shun side chicks and side guys but by all indications, this will probably never happen.

So maybe it's about time people began to prepare for the effects of cheating.

If you're going to be that person who breaks trust and cheats on their partner, then be ready to face whatever comes out of it and you're not permitted to cry foul when your pained partner pays you back in a heavier coin than yours.

You can't determine how your partner reacts or what they choose as payback when they catch you cheating because when it comes to matters of the heart, there aren't rules guiding reciprocity.

What you see is what you get.

My boyfriend refuses to commit to me; but I still can't bring myself to leave him

Posted: 21 Oct 2019 06:30 AM PDT


I really love this guy even though I know he keeps other girls and discourages me from falling in love with him.

I'm a 28-year-old graduate teacher. I have been dating a guy for about a year now. I knew him for a bit when we would just chat, nothing serious because he was dating someone at the time.
Along the line, we became an item and agreed on keeping it coded. When he is with his girl, he won't call or text me. I became addicted to him. We have sex often. I tell him so many things about me. He is always there to listen to me whenever I want to talk to him and we have sex anytime I want.

I called for a break up later because I saw the whole thing was all about sex. I stopped having sex with him for a while and I didn't chat or call him but he wouldn't let me rest. He eventually said his girlfriend had broken up with him and we became close again.

He's an undergraduate who does not work but I am not bothered because I love him.

The problem I have with him now is that I don't really know anything about him apart from what he told me. When I ask him to tell me about him he begs me that he can't say anything for now. I don't know his age, he stylishly asks me for money. I am confused.

I really love this guy even though I know he keeps other girls and he is not promising me anything rather he discourage me from loving him and sometimes he says he know I will leave him one day.

Dear reader,

You might as well do that dumping now. To be honest, there is nothing in this story that validates it as a relationship in the sense that you want it to be in. His idea of what's happening between you both obviously is not the same as what you think.

It appears to me that he thinks this is just a fling, a sexual relationship, some type of game, whereas you seem to be seeking something more serious.

So I have to mention to you that while your desire for a committed relationship are valid, your way of going about it is not. You cannot start a relationship with someone who has a girlfriend and expect loyalty from him. That said, a relationship with someone you know absolutely nothing about is a waste of time.

You do not know his age! That something as basic as that is being hidden from you should tell you that this relationship is fundamentally wrong.

Well, except you are cool with being in a purely sexual relationship, then you should have no problem with what's happening.

If that is not the case, I recommend that you leave this situation for your own good and well-being. Block him from contacting you on every channel, clear your head, focus on positive living and detoxify this experience from your system.

I think you deserve better than this.

Do you want to talk about your love life, marriage or family issues?

Do you have burning questions that you would love to get answers to?

Just send a mail containing your question and location to relationships@pulse.ng,  and I'll provide the most honest answers to them anonymously.

So, why not send that mail today and let's talk about it?

Stress Ulcer: Symptoms and natural remedies for this illness

Posted: 21 Oct 2019 06:00 AM PDT


Some studies suggest that stress ulcer is triggered by physical stress. And this physical stress can come in some of the following forms.

According to Wikipedia, stress ulcer is defined as a single or multiple mucosal defects which can become complicated by upper gastrointestinal bleeding physiologic stress.
Be that as it may, it is important to note that an ulcer occurs when tissue in an area of the mouth, stomach, esophagus, or other parts of the digestive system becomes damaged.

And as a result, the area gets irritated and inflamed and creates a hole or sore. Ulcers are at risk of bleeding, so those occurring in the stomach and intestinal tract need to be monitored.

However, some studies suggest that stress ulcer is triggered by physical stress. And this physical stress can come in some of the following forms:

Serious long-term illness
Surgical procedure
Trauma that occurs in the brain or body
Serious burns
Injury to the central nervous system
Symptoms
1. Heartburn

Heartburns are pointers for stomach ulcers. A burning sensation in the chest can happen due to an intake of spicy foods but if it persists and over the counter, drugs don't provide relief, see a doctor.

2. Hiccups and burps

When hiccups and burps are persistent after eating or taking water or just 'naturally' (which isn't) then it's time to see a doctor for proper examination.

3. Stomach pain

Persistent stomach pain/sharp or dagger-like pain in the stomach may form early pointers to stomach ulcers and this should be taken care off as soon as possible.

4. Bloating

Bloating or feeling heavy even when not necessarily filled up with food is another sign that could indicate stomach ulcer.

5. Indigestion

Indigestion is another common sign that indicates stomach ulcer. If after eating anything and there's a persistent feeling of discomfort or feeling of indigestion, see a doctor.

Natural remedies for stress ulcer
1. Aloe vera

When it comes to matters of home remedies, Aloe vera is great.

Widely used in the cosmetic, pharmaceutical and food industries known for, aloe vera is known for its antibacterial and skin-healing properties.

In addition, several studies have shown that aloe vera may also be an effective remedy against stomach ulcers.

As a matter of fact, one of the studies showed that aloe vera consumption significantly reduced the amount of stomach acid produced in rats suffering from ulcers.

2. Honey

It is quite funny that honey is being appreciated for its sweetness instead of the numerous health benefits that come with consuming it.

Studies have not only shown that honey can contain up to 200 elements, including polyphenols and other antioxidants, they also confirm that honey is a powerful antibacterial that inhibits H. pylori growth.

As long as you have normal blood sugar levels, you can enjoy honey as you would any sweetener, with the bonus of perhaps soothing your ulcers. It is important to note that H. pylori growth is one of the primary causes of an ulcer.

3. Garlic

According to herbal practitioners, garlic is the oldest known medicinal plant variety in existence. It has been used for the treatment of different illness from time in memorial.

However, like honey, studies have also shown that garlic extract inhibits H. pylori growth in the lab, animal, and human trials.

4. Flavonoid

Flavonoids which are compounds that occur naturally in many fruits and vegetables have been suggested by research to an effective additional home remedy for an ulcer. However, foods and drinks that are rich in flavonoids include soybeans, legumes, red grapes, kale, broccoli, apples, and berries.

5. Banana

Studies have shown that when it comes to ulcer treatment, both ripe and unripe banana can be very effective. And this is because, like honey and garlic, there are certain antibacterial compounds in bananas that inhibit the growth of ulcer-causing H. pylori.

However, to treat an ulcer with banana, eat at least three ripe bananas a day. You can also peel two or three bananas and cut them into thin slices.

Dry the sliced banana in the sun and grind into a fine powder. Mix together two tablespoons of this powder and one tablespoon of honey and take this mixture three times a day for about a week.

Dating a broke guy? These are 4 things to expect

Posted: 21 Oct 2019 05:30 AM PDT


Being broke and being in love is not always a bad thing.

While ladies would always say they can't date broke guys, there are those that don't mind doing so.
That he does not have a job at the moment or that he's down on his luck does not disqualify him from finding love; and if you find yourself falling for a guy like this, here are things you need to know:

1. Be certain

You cannot go into this kind of relationship based on half-baked convictions. Hell no.


You need to be pretty sure that this is what you want, and that you are prepared for whatever comes out of it.

People – friends and family - will question your decision to do this and if your stand isn't solid enough, you might waver.

You also need to be reasonably sure of the kind of guy you're about to date.

Frankly, while it is admirable that you don't care about his financial status at the moment, you still need to be sure of his drive and desire to not be broke for too long.

What's his attitude towards getting his finances right?

It'd be catastrophic to say you love someone who is broke now and sits on his behind without plan and effort to break free from his present situation.

2. There'll be inconveniences

There'll be that, and there'll also be sacrifices.

You know those things that your former boyfriend used to do because he could afford it?

Sorry, this new guy won't be able to.

You know those great, cute gifts your friends get from their boyfriends and post on Instagram?

Sorry ma'am, you might not be able to post them for a while.

And hey, you might also have to share some of your salary with him while he's still waiting to find his feet.

It comes with the territory.

3. The sex is [always] on point

Ok. It's not like there is empirical evidence or some stat to back up this assertion, but word on the streets support it.

It is believed that broke guys somehow have mad sex skills and often try to make up for their financial weakness with sexual prowess.

4. It could end in disaster

I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news but the fact that you stood by a guy when he has nothing is not assurance that your love will be forever.

It's cruel and sad, but that's how it is.

You could run all the supportive girlfriend scheme, you could be loyal and faithful and prayerful and you could even hand him your ATM card and he'll still do you dirty when he hits it big.

See, some guys don't even wait to hammer before they start to misbehave. You'll be funding him, and he'll be using your own money to cheat on you.

This is the kind of stuff that happens, guys.

Let's just hope it doesn't happen to you.

New Report – Cristiano Ronaldo makes more money on Instagram than playing for Juventus

Posted: 21 Oct 2019 04:00 AM PDT


Fresh reports and data have confirmed that Cristiano Ronaldo apparently earns more from Instagram than he does from playing soccer for Juventus.

The 34-year-old pockets an annual $47.8 million from paid Instagram posts, according to a study by social media firm Hopper HQ on Buzz Bingo. In contrast, his salary at Juventus is reportedly $34 million, according to Goal.com.

Ronaldo's reported income from Instagram makes him the platform's highest earner, ahead of Lionel Messi and Kylie Jenner.

Receiving a reported average of $975,000 per advertised post, Ronaldo's Instagram earnings far eclipse the world's biggest celebrities, including Kylie Jenner, Selena Gomez, and Emily Ratajkowski.

He also beats footballing rival Lionel Messi, who is said to have earned less than half of Ronaldo's total with $23.3 million.

Amongst the brands Ronaldo has represented on Instagram are Clear Haircare, Nike Football, and Six Pad Europe.

"Ronaldo is the most followed human on Instagram (with 186 million followers) so companies are paying almost $1 million for posts to access his insane reach.

Due to his status as a celebrity and football star, his earnings from Instagram break away from typical influencer partnerships, as many of his promotional posts will be part of wider sponsorship deals, such as Nike.

You only need to go on his Instagram to see how many paid partnerships he does outside of the sports market" Hopper HQ marketing executive Nicola Cronin told Business Insider.

Islamic group Blasts CAN, Insists Christians Kidnapped Muslim Children For Jesus Christ In Kano

Posted: 21 Oct 2019 03:06 AM PDT

Professor Ishaq Akintola, Director MURIC

Muslim Rights Concern, MURIC, has again blasted the Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, in the North over the recent kidnap of nine children from Kano State.

MURIC had recently described in Kano the abduction of nine Muslim children and their alleged conversion to Christianity as kidnapping for Christ, Daily Post had reported.

However in reaction to the claim, Northern CAN described MURIC's statement as 'reckless, irresponsible, derogatory and provocative utterances.'

But on Monday, MURIC maintained its earlier position on the matter, insisting that CAN should put its house in order.

The statement by MURIC was signed by its director, Professor Ishaq Akintola.

It states, "There is incontrovertible evidence that Muslim children have been kidnapped, converted to Christianity and sold into slavery. It is not the Kano 9 alone.
"There are others. There is also indubitable evidence to prove that it did not start yesterday. What is Northern CAN trying to tell us? They are chasing shadows.

"In our statement last Monday, we separated good Christians from bad ones. We also made it clear that we have both the good and the bad among Muslims too. Here are our exact words: 'We are aware that not all Christians are involved in this criminal behavior.

"Many adherents of Christianity are decent and peace-loving. Such Christians will never descend so low as to seize, convert and sell Muslim children.

"Instead of joining hands with us to condemn the bad ones among us, Northern CAN is seeking to silence us. That is a tall dream. We advise Northern CAN to put its house in order and stop blaming MURIC.

"Afterall, we did not mention anything about kidnapping for Christ until the issue of Kano 9 occurred and the revelation has exposed other similar cases.

"We advise Northern CAN to launch a campaign of love and harmony in the churches. There is an urgent need to deradicalise Christian elements particularly in the Middle Belt region where Muslims are being killed and dumped inside mysterious ponds and narrow wells.

"The same advocacy should be taken to South Eastern Nigeria from where syndicates sponsor sleeper cells to Northern Nigeria to abduct, convert and sell Muslim children into slavery.

"Enough of denials and sentimentalities. Northern CAN should stop defending the indefensible. Its current body language is not remorseful. Your fellow Christians kidnapped Muslim children and converted them to Christianity.

"The Muslims complain but instead of consoling them and checking your members you are firing at the victims from all cylinders. We know you very well. This has always been your style. You never own up.

"We warn that Northern CAN should not drag Nigerian Christians into a controversy that involves only those who are in the dirty business of kidnapping Muslim children for conversion to Christianity.

"We hold Jesus (peace be upon him) in very high esteem and our statement was not intended to malign him. No true Muslim will do that.

"Extremist Christians can kidnap Muslims for Christ. That does not mean that Christ is involved. In fact Christ did not send them. They are only being more Christian than Christ himself.

"Jesus never taught men to be wicked. He taught love, kindness and righteousness. It is highly mischievous of Northern CAN to attempt to whip up sentiments over mere semantics.

"We find it difficult to believe CAN's words, 'No Christian has associated Muslims with such criminal acts. We only cry for our own who are victims'. Really?

"This is a false claim and Nigerians know better. What of all the allegations against us in the early days of Boko Haram attacks on churches?

"On a last note, we invite Northern CAN to put its house in order and join hands with the authorities in fishing out remaining sleeper cells for the kidnapping and conversion of Muslim children to Christianity.

"We can all coexist peacefully but we must first eschew parochialism and address issues objectively. We can change this atmosphere of mutual suspicion if only we can be sincere with ourselves."

Baba Ijesha opens up on why he returned to school to get more education

Posted: 21 Oct 2019 03:00 AM PDT


Popular actor, Olanrewaju Omiyinka, popularly known as Baba Ijesha, has opened up on why he returned to school to get more education.

According to him, he didn't take a break from acting but decided to concentrate on his studies.

The actor said, "I am back in school, studying Theatre Arts at the University of Lagos. I didn't want to be acting and schooling at the same time, because acting requires a lot of attention. However, I didn't take a break from acting. I have been careful about the kind of movies I appear in. These days, I read comments online from fans complaining about the quality of our movies.

Being educated is the best investment one can make in life. Though education is not necessarily the key to wealth, it is needed to be respected in our society. Education didn't make me successful; my talent did. I went back to school to be able to enlighten myself and step up my game. I am in part four currently and it's a five-year course."

Speaking further, the actor urged his colleagues in the Theatre Arts and Motion Pictures Producers Association of Nigeria not to get frustrated, adding that positive changes are coming soon.

"Our people shouldn't get tired. Change is gradually coming. Iyabo Ojo recently spoke on the issue and I respect her views. Every association has its flaws, and it's just because we are in the limelight that ours seem so noticeable. Mr Latin's leadership will lead to changes in TAMPPAN. I know him and his attitude. Let us forget about the past rifts. You will agree with me that changes are gradually being felt in the industry," he said.
