What I Do To Sustain My Marriage —Omotola Jalade

Rumours have been rife that delectable and beautiful actress Omotola Jalade Ekeinde’s matrimonial home might be experiencing some cracks. But thank God, the mother of four has finally laid the rumour to rest. GE accosted her sometime ago to know the secret behind her unharmed marriage, and this is what she said: “Being married to somebody outside showbiz is an advantage for me. So I’m imagining maybe that could help. He is not in my profession, so I don’t see him often, and I’m not in his own profession, so he doesn’t see me often, too. We don’t see each other often. So, I guess that gives us space which is important in marriage. He has space and I have space. Don’t forget that a marriage is a partnership of two individuals. I had my life before I met him and the same goes for him, so we need to understand and respect each other’s freedom and individuality. I think the reason why a lot of marriages run into trouble is because the couples don’t understand that they are two different people and are into a partnership of and for life. The purpose of us coming together is to try see how to make each other’s life bearable and not unbearable. I mean, you shouldn’t be in my business all the time and I shouldn’t be in yours. When it is time for us to collaborate and think about how to make our lives more enjoyable and sweeter, we will do that and when it’s time for me to figure out myself I need my partner to get out of my situation; that is totally important. But like I always say, I think the highest part of it is the fear of God. If you fear God and you know that you do not necessarily have to answer to him or her it makes things easier because you know that you have a higher being to answer to. So even when you make mistakes, you report yourself to God first and foremost, so that he can help you out, and then you can go ahead to sort it out with the human being(s). But the good thing is that you wouldn’t even do all those naughty stuffs that break marriages because you know somebody up there is watching you.” Hmmm….this is quite sweet to hear; or what do you think? We hope some actresses whose names we wouldn’t want to mention are reading this. Oops!

Jennifer Lopez: I Could Be President One Day

JENNIFER LOPEZ is an actress, singer, record producer, American Idol judge and fashion designer. Born in the Bronx, a poor area of New York, J-Lo was virtually broke when first living in Hollywood. She's had a high-profile private life - relationships include hip-hop's Sean "P Diddy" Combs and actor Ben Affleck. She's now married to her third husband, singer Marc Anthony, with whom she has three year-old twins, Emme and Max and is currently promoting her album Love? and latest single, I'm Into You. Here, the 41-year-old talks to GARTH PEARCE about what she learned from her mum. "MY mother, Guadalupe, taught me all about clean living. I have never taken a drug, never smoked a cigarette and do not drink at all. My mother embedded it all in to us when we were young."I don't think my wish to be a dancer had anything to do with it - my mother just said no to drinking and drugs. She would say: "Drugs kill you and ruin your brain" - that kind of stuff. "I am not saying it makes me a better person not to drink or smoke, it's just that I don't do it. "I am a good girl in the sense that I was raised a Catholic. My mum and dad had three girls, my older sister, Lesley, me and my younger sister Lynda. It was a case of keeping us on the straight and narrow. "When people ask me who I am, I just say that I am a simple girl from the Bronx who worked really hard. "Those basic values were drummed into my head: "Be good. Work hard. Do the right thing. Don't hurt anybody." "My exuberance and love of music came from my mum. Home alone at night, she'd entertain us. Mostly things from her own childhood, like The Shirelles, The Ronettes and The Supremes."She'd sing. We would act out plays or watch musicals. She loved the movie West Side Story and knew it by heart. I think maybe Mum was a frustrated entertainer and I am living her dream. "I fell in love when I was 15, in high school, with a local boy, David Cruz. "My best girlfriend and his best guy friend were dating and they wanted us to get together. "He fell in love with me at first sight. I thought to myself: "He is all right." This was January and, in February, he sent a dozen roses to my house. In the Bronx, that was unusual. "I wrote him a card saying: "We may not be together now, but who knows what the future holds?" It was very sweet and he became my boyfriend, on and off, for nine years! "I moved to LA to appear in the TV show In Living Color and I did date guys there. But I thought: "I want my baby back." "I really struggled, financially, and was down to my last dollar on occasions. "There were lots of tearful calls to my mum who kept me going with her encouragement. "Any man who has known me would say that my worst fault is being a pain in the ass when it comes to being alone. "We've all had a love of our life and failed love affairs. I am just the biggest romantic - it's really sad. I tell people that, but nobody listens. "After a while, people are together and they get blasé about the other person in their life. "So you have to invent little things to keep the spark alive. "It's like a fire you have to keep burning. You keep throwing logs on the fire. "And if the logs don't work, throw a match in there - or add lighter fuel! "I was very careful about my behaviour in Hollywood because I did not want to let anyone down. When I had my first big love scene on a film, with Wesley Snipes, (Money Train, 1995) I even asked for pillows so our bodies would not touch. "I called them Love Pillows and the wardrobe department made me three, in various sizes. The little itty bitty one went down there, the rest spread over my body. "Wesley was cool about it. I've obviously loosened up since then with the love scenes I've done on movies but that is how I felt at the time. "I would also bring my mother to my film sets. I made no apologies for that. My family is all I have. "I wasn't one of those pretty girls, growing up. I was very tomboyish and quite tough. That toughness has kept me going. "As my mother said, right at the very start: "Fame never lasts for ever." "I remember when I was doing Monster-In-Law, with Jane Fonda. She came on the set and Mum got on so well with her. I have a beautiful photograph of the two of them together. "For me, strength and confidence comes from my upbringing. "My mum taught me that I could do anything I wanted to do - even be President of the United States. My sisters feel exactly the same about life. "I now want to be as good a mum to my children as my mother was to me."

Venue: Baba Yara Stadium - Kumasi
Date: July 10, 2011
Time: 15:00 GMT [3:00PM Local Time]

Ghana and Nigeria will square off in the decisive last round of qualifying of the 2011 All African Games on July 10 with the Black Meteors needing to overturn a first leg deficit.
The Black Meteors are chasing the game as they trail Nigeria 1-3 from the first leg.
Coach of the Ghana side Kwesi Appiah is confident his team can reach the finals of the Games in Mozambique but says there will be no margin for error when they take on their rivals at the Baba Yara Stadium.
"It will be a very tough game and we will have to be at our best to get through," the Ghana coach said.
Ghana has score two unanswered goals to secure the sole Zone III ticket to the Games and for Appiah, it means taking the game to their rivals while keeping a solid backline.
"We must attack as much as possible but the crucial thing is that we don't lose our discipline and our tactical awareness. So while we attack, we must defend cleverly."
Though Nigeria represents a tough test, the Black Meteors remain very hopeful of taking their chances.
