Seriously, we have no reason not to wife this gorgeous lady.
WHY HAS AMERICA NEVER HAD A WOMAN PRESIDENT?
As The Treasurer, Edwin Sandy of the Virginia Company of London put it in 1620, "...the plantation can never florish till families be planted and the respect of wives and children fix the people on the soil."

The next women to arrive were those intrepid souls aboard The Mayflower which anchored off the shore of the Massachusetts coast in November1620. It was while anchored that the first governing document, The Mayflower Compact was drawn up and signed by the 61 male Puritan/Pilgrims. None of the 40 or so women aboard was asked to contribute to or sign the document.
The Women of our first colonies were not simply wives, mothers and laborers, they fought alongside their men in skirmishes against their occasionally hostile Indian neighbors. Most were quite adept with a firearm or a sword if need be.
In the latter part of the 18th Century, women accompanied their men or assisted in or actually participate in some battles of the War of Revolution. Catherine Moore Barry was one such as were Margaret Corbin and Nancy Hart, after whom War Woman Creek in Georgia is named to commemorate her actions during the war. Molly Hays McCauley, better known as Molly Pitcher not only carried water; she also fired her husband’s cannon at oncoming British forces.

Attempts to establish a government for the American Colonies were hampered by opposing forces. The leaders, Franklin, Jefferson, John Adams, Washington and others finally convened the First Continental Congress in Philadelphia on September 5, 1774. All colonies being represented except Georgia which was having trouble with the Creek Indians and needed British help to settle matters. As was the custom, no women took part in the proceedings. The Congress did not advocate independence but rather sought to resolve differences and even introduced a plan of
Union of Great Britain and the Colonies. http://www.u-s-history.com/pages/h650.html
The Colonial leaders were preparing a Second Congress when things came to a head at Lexington and Concord. John Adams who corresponded regularly with his wife Abigail informed her that a Declaration of Independence was being considered. In a response, Abigail reminded him to “take care of the women, who would not hold themselves bound by laws in which they had no voice.”

The War of Revolution won, efforts were begun to execute a Constitution of Governance to replace the less than effective Articles of Confederation. No women participated in these discussions nor were any officially consulted. Women were not given the right to vote nor to hold office. The women held a women’s rights meeting at Seneca Falls, New York in July 1848. The ladies issued a Declaration of Sentiments and Resolutions modeled after the Declaration of Independence detailing, the "injuries and usurpations" that men had inflicted upon women and demanded that women be granted all of the rights and privileges that men possessed, including the right to vote.”
On February 3, 1870 the XV th Amendment to the Constitution was ratified. That was purely a political move to give free men of color the vote to the exclusion of all women. It must be noted here that black men never fully enjoyed the right to vote until the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1965. The XV th Amendment ushered in more problems. Some states required that voters and candidates had to be Christians; some Northern and Western politicians wanted to continue the disenfranchisement of non-native Irish and Chinese. It took women 50 years more before they were enfranchised to vote. Some of these women, Alice Paul for example, underwent physical violence, incarceration and torture along the road to passage of the XIX th Amendment in 1920. The Amendment gave women the right to vote; however, it did not give them equality in every sense. Alice Paul went on to earn three law degrees andwrote the Equal Rights Amendment which has yet to be passed and ratified.

Why should our Mothers, Sisters, Daughters, or any other female citizen be denied a basic right enjoyed by the male citizenry? I suggest that one word is the answer; Gynophobia, which can mean fear of or contempt for women. While the male contenders for the Republican nomination appear to detest each other, there are at least two women ready and willing to accept the duties and responsibilities of the Office of President of the United States.
KIM KARDASHIAN CALLS HER HUSBAND A WEDDING PRESENT THE EXPLANATION OF 7 BILLION
Kim Kardashian and her husband Kris Humphries is pending during the divorce procedures. Recently, reality TV star said, all their gifts will be brought to a charity donation.

UCHE JUMBO OPENS UP ABOUT MARRIAGE
Some days ago, reports indicated that chocolate skin make-believe queen, Uche Jombo was getting ready to marry. The news story identified one Chidi as the groom of Uche.
But the actress has opened up on the marriage rumor trailing her. According to her, her marriage would come at the right time.
Meanwhile, just when that heating up, a fan of hers tweeted at her;
“In 13 years [time], Genevieve and Uche Jombo will be single mothers with no actual father! Isn’t Genny a [single] mother already?”
In a sharp response to the tweet, Uche tweeted back;
“I don’t know the point of the tweet, but I sure[ly] pray to be a mother in 13 years [time].”
So, if that is an insult, it is a weak one.
“[I am] not going to bother [myself about] the single-mother part because my mama taught me better than that.”
NOLLYWOOD STAR RAMSEY NOUAH ON THE VERGE OF QUITTING ACTING
The actor made his breakthrough into one of the world’s biggest movie industries, Nollywood, after auditioning and earning a role in the television series, Fortunes, in 1991.
About two decades down the line and starring in several well-known productions, Ramsey Nouah wants to say bye-bye although many think he is still in his prime.
The actor made this astonishing revelation during an interview with Joseph Akahome of Nigerian Entertainment Today.
According to him, “I think I’ve had my fair share. To my fans and loved ones, I know they’ll always want to see me on screen, but as they say, it’s best to leave when the ovation is loudest. I want to leave a very strong legacy. I believe I have left a very strong imprint in that line. There’s no possible way you can mention ‘Nollywood’ without mentioning Ramsey Nouah.”
He however revealed that all is not lost as he will not abandoning the movie industry entirely.
Ramsey wants to spend the future behind the scenes: “Well, I’ll be going behind the scenes. I’ll still be acting a bit here and there, but it will phase out for directing eventually. For a while now, I’ve not really been on the screen, and that’s because I don’t want to act just because I want to be on TV.
“I only want to be associated with the kind of movies that are poised to take the industry to another level, which is where we are headed now. Plus, I want to focus on working behind the scenes.”
Apart from being behind the scenes, Ramsey born in Edo, Nigeria to an Israeli father and a Yoruba mother, said he will also be dedicating his time to humanitarian activities and charitable ventures.
“I started a project at one point in time, but due to circumstances I wasn’t able to see it through, so it didn’t see the light of day, but I’m working on that now and getting the resources together. Like I said, I grew up not having much, so I know the pains. Sometimes you want to help, but greedy people hijack it and in the end, the people who really need the help don’t get it.”
Born Ramsey Tokunbo Nouah Jr, in 16 July 1973, he has starred in several productions such as A Private Storm, Hidden Treasure, True Sacrifice, Last Faculty, Governor’s Wife, Dangerous Twins, and Figurinewhich earned him Best Actor in a Leading Role award at the 2010African Movie Academy Awards (AMAA).
JADAKISS HINTS AT SONG WITH KANYE WEST, BUSTA RHYMES, OTHERS

Now, in a recent interview with MTV2, Al Queda Jada gives a little insight into the star-studded picture.
Kiss hinted that the all-star crew of rhymers may have a track in the works together. Although the D-Block general kept tight-lipped about what music was made in the session, he did say that "some huge things are to come out of that room."
"Yeah, it's gonna turn into more nights. It's just about the elite forces in the industry linking up with each other, trying to capture a certain sound," he explained. "I loved that night, that was a timeless night in Hip Hop in my life. I've been in many studio sessions with you name it, but for now, 2012, right there, that was a beautiful time to see where everybody's head was at, what was going on. The energy was great out there, and I think some huge things are to come out of that room."
