:The STORY of KLINT DA DRUNK & His Wife:
“No marriage is perfect” — Klint da drunk
“My Husband is Very Romantic, That’s why I fell in Love With Him”

Comedian and actor, Afaemena Igwemba a.k.a Klint da Drunk and his wife, Lilien give an insight into what makes their six-year-old marriage tick. Enjoy the interview.

How long have you been married?

Klint: We thank God for the journey so far because we have been married for six happy years.

How did you meet?

Lilien: We met in Jos, where I used to reside. Not like we planned to meet but it just happened. According to my husband, when he saw me, he told his friend, ‘That is my wife, I will marry that girl.’

Did you entertain any fears about dating and later marrying someone in the limelight?

Lilien: No profession is sacred. Even if you are marrying a doctor or a lawyer, the most important thing is knowing your partner and trusting God. For me, I was not scared at all because we were friends for a long while and that had gave me the opportunity to study him real good.

What was the attraction?

Lilien: I knew the real him, not what everybody sees when he is performing on stage. At home, he is my husband and father to our children. When we were dating, there was no airs around him. He was very down-to-earth and that made me love him more. In addition, what truly attracted me to him is his heart. Klint is the nicest and kindest man on earth and I do not mean to flatter him. He has a heart of gold and I had always told God I want a man that will cherish our children and me.

Was there any opposition?

Lilien: My parents never opposed our decision to get married. They did not even mind the fact that he is an entertainer. Once they realised that he is a focused, young man and he was serious about me, they gave us their blessing. My husband is a very likeable person.

Klint: My parents fell in love with her over the phone, before they even met her in person. That is the kind of person my wife is.

When there are challenges, how do you resolve them?

Klint: No marriage is perfect and every marriage has its ups and downs. We have had our own fair share but we never go to bed angry. Things have been made easier because I am married to my best friend and that is one good advice I will give to every intending bride and groom. Marriage has been an added blessing for me.

What do you think has sustained your union?

Lilien: For a marriage to succeed, it takes a lot of conscious effort on the part of the two people involved. You have to be determined to make it work. Our number one secret is understanding. We are not just friends but great friends and we understand each other. Nobody understands my husband like I do. In addition, every good wife must be a prayer warrior because prayer is the best weapon. You can win many battles with prayers and a praying family stays together.

How do you resolve your challenges?

Lilien: We always apologise to each other whenever one does any wrong to the other. I am not too big to aplogise and neither is he. Saying sorry and meaning it when you have wronged your spouse goes a long way in bringing about stability in your marriage.

Apart from being his wife, what else do you do?

Lilien: I am a wife and mother to two wonderful boys. That is a job I truly enjoy doing and I run my personal business.

Do you sometimes wish he was not in the limelight?

Lilien: That wish comes once in a blue moon. There are times I wish both of us can do some things like normal people would without raising eyebrows which a lot of times, is not the case. Being in the limelight is restrictive somehow but I thank God for who my spouse is. It is a blessing for us.

How romantic is Klint?

Lilien: My husband is very romantic and that is another reason I fell for him. He makes a lot of romantic gestures that just melts my heart.

What is the most memorable gift you have received from him?

Lilien: Over the years, we have exchanged numerous wonderful gifts. It is so much that we have lost count. Before we got married and started having children, my best gift used to be the very first car he bought for me. Then, we were still dating and I did not expect him to buy but right now, the greatest gift from him is, being the best father ever to our children.

Is he also humorous at home?

Lilien: Klint is a very funny man in and out of the house. He just takes humour everywhere he goes and as such, there is no dull moment with him.

What has marriage added to you?

Lilien: It has made me more mature, patient, tolerant, disciplined, and very prayerful too.

As a couple how do you unwind?

Lilien: We try to hang out when he is less busy. We also spend quality family time together with the kids. Thankfully, in spite of his busy schedule, he is a hands-on father and husband. His family is very important to him and he is always there when we need him. In that area, he does not fail.

What pet names do you have for each other?

Lilien: He has a ‘secret’ pet name for me that truly melts my heart. It so funny how much magic that name works when he addresses me by it.

Klint: I would not disclose what she calls me either.

How did you spend the last Valentine’s Day?

Lilien: He is hardly in town on Valentine’s Day because of work. He usually has to perform at one function or the other. Besides, everyday is Valentine for us since we never stop showing each other love. To say that we set aside one day to celebrate love is not the case. I show him love every day, hour, minute and seconds and he does the same to me.

THE END.

I have nothing against P-Square – May D

Photo: An Exclusive Interview With MAY D
I have nothing against P-Square – May D

Mayokun Awodumila, aka, May D is a native of Ekiti State, but grew up in Lagos State, Nigeria with his family, 4 brothers and their parents.
A graduate of Mass Communication from the University of Lagos (Unilag), May D released his first singles ‘’Cool Temper’’ and ‘’Soundtrack’ in 2011 to an appreciative level of positive reviews from the industry insiders.
Later that year, he featured on Psquare`s Invasion Album, collaborating on ‘Chop My Money’ which also featured Akon on the remix and on ‘Do as I Do’ which also had Tiwa Savage on it.
In early 2012, he released his second singles ‘Ile Ijo’, ‘Gat Me High’, and ‘You Want 2 Know Me’, which featured PSquare.
In February 2013, he released ‘So Many Tinz’, which is the official last single before the release of his album.
In this interview with DailyPost, May D speaks about his entire career; how he started, and the journey so far. He also speaks about his Meiden Album launch which holds on May 26, at the ThisDay Dome , Abuja. The event is organized by Abuja number one event Manager, Kehinde Adegbite, Mr. Yankee. His relationship with the Square record is briefly exposed here.
EXCERPTS:
The beginning
I started as a dancer, with the same name; May D. May D is actually from the name, Mayokun Dumila – May D. There is this usual hurdle associated with any new venture one embarks on. We all went through the same hustle, and we still “dey try”
I started out as a dancer in my secondary school, Kings’ College, Lagos. When I got into the University, Unilag, I started music professionally and even though it was tough because I was in a group facing different challenges, I persevered. There were ups and downs , but after several years, things took shape and here I am today, by God’s grace.
Inspiration
I take everything around me as a source of inspiration in making music. Life is art, and if you know life, you can make several lyrics out of it. Everything seen, touched, and taste should inspire one. I’m always inspired by what I see.
The walk, the dance
Those majestic and flexible walk in most of my videos, especially the twisting of fingers and the leg dance were all learnt in the past, while I was doing dance. Like I said, I started out as a dancer back in my secondary school days, and with all humility, I’ll say I was pretty good at it. So, in a way, that’s just me bringing to the fore what I have always been good at doing.
Music
I will categorize my type of music as pop/R&b. At the moment, I have a number of singles. I had my first singles, ‘’Cool Temper’’ and ‘’Soundtrack’ in 2011 to an appreciative level of positive reviews from the industry insiders.
Later that year, I featured on Psquare`s Invasion Album, collaborating on ‘Chop My Money’ which also featured Akon in the remix and on ‘Do as I Do’ which also had Tiwa Savage on it.
In early 2012, I released my second singles ‘Ile Ijo’, ‘Gat Me High’, and ‘You Want 2 Know Me’, which featured PSquare.
In October 2012, I started my own label, Confam Entertainment and subsequently released ‘Use Me’ and the video for ‘Gat Me High’ to rave reviews.
In February 2013, I released ‘So Many Tinz’, which is the official last single before the release of my album.
Square records
My relationship with Peter and Paul is still very cordial. We owe nothing against each other. It was only time for me to just be on my own. I saw that it was time to begin to direct my own ship; aside that, nothing personal.
The Industry
The industry is very big at the moment, and highly competitive. One has to be above board by churning out creative stuff to measure up to standard. I have just started, and we have to just take it to another level.
Abuja Album Launch
The Abuja Album Launch will be my maiden album concert and we plan to give Abuja a night to remember. I expect the people of Abuja to show the usual love they have always shown towards me. It’s my second home -you know. The official launch holds on May 26 at the Thisday Dome, Abuja. I just expect the usual love from Abuja people. I shall be having other big names in the industry performing with me. 2Face, Davido, Iyanya, Olamide,K-Switch, Reminisce, Gandoki, Klint Da drunk, Emma Nyra and a host of others will join me at the concert.
Advice
My advice is directed to all aspiring musicians. They should understand that life is practically an Ecosystem. To survive, you must keep struggling. Keep doing your thing until it’s your time. You can do it. It’s your dream and no one else’s. Keep the positive dreams glowing and work towards it. Don’t sit down there, thinking that your dream will come to you; you can only go to your dream. If May D, Iyanya, 2Face and others can make it, then you have no doubt. All the best.
THE END.

---Flying Car Crashes In Canada (Pictures)---

Two people were injured after an experimental flying car crashed into a tree
last week near a school in Vernon, B.C., Canada.
The experimental aircraft has a plane engine, propeller and parachute connected to a dune
buggy . The aircraft clipped a fence behind Vernon's Ellison Elementary School, hit the tree and crashed a few metres from school property just before 9 a.m. PT. Made by a Florida company, the flying car is a combination of a plane engine, propeller and parasail attached to a dune buggy.
RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk said there are indications the contraption had taken off from the airport in Vernon. "It looked like it was on its approach," Molendyk said. "There was motor sound and people looked up and it got into trouble and came through the fence and into the trees here." Molendyk said the pilot and his passenger had to be pulled from the tree. They suffered minor injuries and were taken to hospital.

They have since been released." No one was hurt on the ground, although children from the school were preparing on the nearby grounds for a track and field day. The Maverick can travel at speeds up to 160 kilometres per hour on land and up to 65 kilometers per hour in the air. It's believed Kelowna, B.C., resident Ray Siebring recently brought the fifth-ever flying car to Canada as a prototype and has been checking it out in a series of test flights across the Okanagan.
A release from the Transportation Safety Board (TSB) confirmed the flying car was "an American corporately registered I-Tech Maverick SP Powered Parachute" that had crashed. The vehicle, known as "Maverick," uses a 100-metre runway to take off and flies under a
parasail.

But it also needs a 100-metre runway to make a safe landing. According to the manufacturer's website, the car can travel at speeds up to 160 kilometers per hour on land and up to 65 kilometres per hour in the air. It costs at least $94,000 to purchase.
