Queen Elizabeth II To Wed Her Longtime Female Partner

Following the House of Commons’ passage Tuesday, Feb 5, 2013 of a bill that paves the way for same-sex marriage in Britain, Queen Elizabeth II publicly announced her plans to marry her longtime partner, 63-year-old Denise Whitelock, as soon as the law goes into effect. “After more than 30 years of sharing a committed and loving partnership,

I am absolutely thrilled that Denise and I are finally able to seal our union in marriage,” said the reigning British monarch in a press release, speaking on behalf of her partner, a retired dog breeder, with whom she lives part-time in a Kensington Garden flat. “Marriage is something we’ve both wanted for a very long time, but never had an opportunity to pursue because of the unequal and antiquated marriage laws of this country. We’re delighted that the government finally took this important step forward, and we couldn’t be happier to announce our official engagement.” The Queen also informed members of the press that, as this was her second marriage, she and Denise had decided to hold a low-key ceremony with close friends and family.

Here is what she wrote; I have just been informed that my second son, Obinna Okereke Awa is dead. He was lured and killed and buried, exactly two weeks today by his course mates and room mates, flanking him here, Edwin Ogbonna and Ikechukwu Uka. All fourth year Law students of Abia State University.
They feigned ignorance of his whereabouts until yesterday.

My son was to be 21 years come May 7th, 2013. May God be magnified! - Mrs Ngozi Awa.

She also wrote this on her page in pains;

Even in my pains
Even in my shock
Even in my sorrow
I still say: Thank you, Lord!

God! How I cried and tore myself up
How I searched and searched
How I prayed and prayed
How I hoped and hoped
chest heaving, tears dripping...

Now, after denial of knowledge of where my son was
After scampering away from school for two weeks
Obinna's blood has started chasing them out to confess of how they took him out.

Obinna Awa of all people!
Obinna my strong son!
Obinna aaa!

It is well.
I am coping Obinna.
Daddy is devastated.
You should have seen the visitors to the house today
Heard the incessant phone calls, some we answered, others we could not lift our hands or voices to respond to.

Chai!
How can students plan to eliminate another's life?
For what?
Did you insult any of them?
Did you wink at their girlfriends?
Did you, Obinna, boast to them?

God, console my poor son!
God, touch our hearts.
