Bollywood song makes Canada wedding go viral

Canadian couple Frank Gregoire and Simran Malhotra have started a campaign to spread their "message of love" after their wedding video was a hit on social media. They spoke to the BBC's Vikas Pandey about their newfound fame. What looked like a normal wedding ceremony soon turned special when Frank Gregoire surprised his bride Simran Malhotra with his rendition of popular Bollywood love song Kyunki Tum Hi Ho(Only you are there) on their wedding day. Ms Malhotra, who is of Indian origin, burst into tears when Mr Gregoire sang the love song after several days of "secret" rehearsals to perfect it. A few days later, a video of Frank's performancewent viral on several social media platforms with millions of shares and likes. (It currently has 4.3million views on YouTube) "I never thought in a million years that this [the video] would get this much attention," Mr Gregoire told the BBC. Ms Malhotra said she was "still trying to believe this beautiful act of love was done for me". "I know Frank loves singing but never would I have imagined that he would learn a Hindi song and sing it to me at our wedding. When I first heard him sing, I just felt like I was in 'shock'. There are no words to describe how I felt in that moment and truthfully it is probably one of those feelings I will never experience again," she said. She confessed to being surprised that so many people liked the video on social media, but added that "love is pure, it's organic. Love causes us to laugh, other times it causes us to cry". In a more unusual consequence of the wedding, Mr Gregoire has been getting multiple requests to sing for other people's weddings, something he says he has been "completely humbled" by. "I'm sure Simran will have many requests now that she knows I am willing to learn Hindi songs," he said. Ms Malhotra is also looking forward to Mr Gregoire possibly making a debut performance at a wedding in India. "We have a lot of cousins in India. So hopefully we will be invited to a wedding soon," she said. Apart from a possible alternate career as wedding singers, the couple have plans to use their newfound fame as social media stars to urge people to "show some love". They have urged peopleto make a video or take a selfie with their loved ones and share their stories on social media. "We challenge the world to make a headline news story of love and a positive message that takes precedence over all the hate, war, crime, and negativity showcased in the world," Mr Gregoire said.

The Economist article on the fight against Boko Haram

Read this very interesting article by The Economiston the fight against Boko Haram and the alleged multiple deaths of Boko Haram leader, Abubakar Shekau. The article below.. How many times can one man die? At least four, in the case of Abubakar Shekau, the slippery leader of Boko Haram. Nigerian security forces celebrated his demise in 2009, 2013 and 2014, only for him to pop up again, disconcertingly animate, on camera. When Chad’s president said in August that his troops had killed Mr Shekau, the jihadist was resurrected once again, this time with a voice recording. “Woe unto liars that had claimed I am dead,” said the voice. “Nobody can kill me.” This relatively mild-mannered dispatch raised questions of its own. Most of what is known about Africa’s most notorious terrorist derives from his gun-wielding, slave-touting videos. If he were still at large, would he not release a film in his usual more robust style? Most probably, he is indeed alive. Whether he is injured is impossible...

Bode George asks Buhari to probe Tinubu, Fashola

PDP Chieftain Bode George has asked President Buhari to probe the administrations of former Lagos state governors, Bola Tinubu and Babatunde Fashola. In a statement released yesterday August 19th, Bode George said Buhari cannot claim to be fighting corruption and not investigate the circumstances surrounding the controversial N78 million tundefashola.com website. "We are living in a very interesting time. There is an air of repugnancy everywhere most specifically in my state where the immoral stench and the dark odium of Mr. Babatunde Fashola’s administration is daily being unearthed. What is most disgusting and annoying in all these is the arrogant and the befuddled attempt of Mr. Fashola to justify the apparent reckless misappropriation of Lagos state taxpayers’ money to set up a personal web site. Fashola shows no remorse, no semblance of regret, no guilty nudging of conscience. Instead, he still attempts to ride a high horse, puffing and stomping in feigned seraphic innocenc...

Queen Elizabeth II becomes longest-reigning monarch on a day of characteristic modesty

She accepted it was a “special day” as she became our longest-reigning monarch, but the Queen was, as ever, the very embodiment of understatement. Appearing rather bashful about the attention being lavished on her as she made history, Her Majesty made only a passing reference to her entry in the record books, insisting: “It is not one to which I have ever aspired.” While everyone around her was, quite rightly, paying homage to her remarkable achievement, the Queenmade it clear that, as far as she was concerned, all she had done was to stay alive and healthy. “Inevitably, a long life can pass by many milestones,” she said. “My own is no exception. But I thank you all and the many others at home and overseas for your touching messages of great kindness.” Queen Victoria, the woman whose record she surpassed, was not mentioned in the Queen’s brief speech at Tweedbank railway station in the Borders, where Her Majesty was more preoccupied with the business at hand, namely opening the longes...
