Couple Breaks World Record, Got Married At 102, 100

Love knows no age limits, and Bernie Littman, 100, and Marjorie Fiterman, 102, are living proof.
The centenarian couple, who found love in a senior living facility, officially became the world’s oldest newlyweds with a combined age of 202 years, Guinness World Records revealed on Tuesday.
Both Marjorie and Bernie were said to have lived over 60 years of marriage to their respective first spouses, but when their spouses passed away and they moved into the same floor of a senior living facility in Philadelphia, USA, neither of them expected to find new love just a few doors down.
The pair reportedly bonded by sharing meals and participating in their retirement community’s productions.
While Bernie credits his long life and happiness to reading and staying up-to-date, Marjorie credits hers to buttermilk.
GWR’s report partly read, “They tied the knot on 19 May after a nine-year relationship, making the pair the oldest couple to marry (aggregate age) with their combined ages of 202 years and 271 days.
“Bernie hit it off immediately with Marjorie when they first met at a costume party on their floor, and the romance began shortly after—they had their first date on the same day one of his great-granddaughters was born.
“Although they both could’ve crossed paths years prior when they attended the University of Pennsylvania at the same time, life seemingly has funny ways of making us wait.
“They studied different degrees—Bernie becoming an engineer, Marjorie a teacher—and never met before that fateful day.”
The ceremony was said to have been held at the same senior living facility where they first met.
Four generations of Bernie’s family were reportedly present to celebrate, with loved ones holding up the chuppah—a traditional Jewish wedding canopy—while Bernie and Marjorie were escorted to the altar in wheelchairs.
Adam Wohlberg, who officiated the wedding, told Fox News that he didn’t want to deliver the usual advice he does to married couples. But Bernie and Marjorie had “eventually reached the point where being not just close friends—but husband and wife—felt like the right step to take.”
“Each of you has already amassed a lifetime of wisdom and experience, and your attitudes, feelings, and opinions are pretty well formulated at this point,” Adam reportedly said in his speech.
“That’s not to suggest that you won’t continue to learn and develop as people. But I think it is safe to say that each of you, what you know and understand about each other, is exactly what the future holds for you and your partner.
“And what you have determined you love about each other—well, those things are not about to change,” he added.
Although the family assumed they would choose to remain unmarried because of their ages, it was “certainly a surprise” to hear they wanted to take the next step, Bernie’s granddaughter, Sarah Sicherman, reportedly told the Jewish Chronicle.
She said that the whole family was “thrilled” for the couple and that they were “so lucky to have found each other and be a support to each other, especially during the pandemic.”
In a social media post, Sarah reportedly added, “With so much sadness and fear in the world, it’s nice to be able to share something that brings people joy.
“Today my 100-year-old grandfather married his 102-year-old girlfriend! They both had 60-plus years of marriage to their first spouses and found love again at 100 years old!”

“They both love each other’s humor and intellect. They keep each other young,” Sarah shared with GWR.

Protests erupt in Plateau over incessant k!llings

Protests erupted in Jos, the Plateau State capital, on Monday morning over the continued killings of indigenous residents by gunmen suspected to be Fulani militants.
The demonstrations, led by Christian leaders including the state chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria, Rev. Polycarp Lubo, commenced on Monday morning at the Fawvwei Junction community road, causing a heavy gridlock and stranding commuters.
The latest protest comes amid a surge in violent attacks by gunmen in various communities, with over 100 people killed in Bokkos and Bassa LGAS in the past two weeks.
“We are not happy over the continuous attacks and killings by gunmen in our communities. That’s why we have come out again to protest these happenings,” said Gyang Dalyop, one of the protesters.
Another protester, Hannatu Philip, called on the government to intervene before it spirals out of control.
The protesters brandishing placards with different inscriptions were seen marching towards the Rayfield Government House.

Tinubu not your equal – Presidency replies Peter Obi’s ex-running mate, Datti

The Presidency has said the former Labour Party, LP, presidential running mate, Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed is no match for President Bola Tinubu.
Tinubu’s Special Adviser on Media and Public Communication, Sunday Dare was reacting to Datti’s remark that he (Tinubu) would not run for the presidency in 2027.
The former LP running mate insisted that Tinubu’s time is up, adding that everything is there for the president and the ruling All Progressives Party, APC, to see that they lose in 2027.
Dismissing such remark, Dare likened Datti’s comment to the new year predictions of charlatan ‘prophets’ which never come through.
In a statement he signed, Dare said the likes of Peter Obi and Datti would have been president left for the latter’s theories.
According to Dare, Datti has chosen to venture into an unfamiliar terrain.
The statement reads partly: “Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed’s “illogical logic” was all over the place in his recent interview with a television channel.
“Listening to Yusuf Datti Baba- Ahmed spurn his postulations about the political future of Nigeria and that of the incumbent President is like listening to the new year predictions of charlatan ‘prophets’ which never come through. Yusuf Baba Ahmed and his co-traveller Peter Obi are indeed a “double whammy“ in the Nigerian political space.
“He chose to base his political calculations on President Bola Tinubu not winning a second term given his antecedents and because Nigerians will decide at the polls among other things. He conveniently avoided the substance of performance and capacity.
“Unfortunately, he chose to walk into a lane he was unfamiliar with and chose to confront a politician he is no match for.”
Similarly, the Presidency had also stressed that Tinubu will reveal his plans for a second term at the right time.
It said the APC 2027 presidential campaign billboards had no links to Tinubu and Vice President Kashim Shettima.
