RDB READER: AT WHAT AGE SHOULD I ALLOW MY CHILD HAVE GIRLFRIEND/BOYFRIEND?

This is from a RDB reader:

I'm a married woman with two kids; a boy who is 14 years and a girl who is 11 years. My son recently had a female friend over to the house and when I inquired as to who she was, he told me she was just a classmate. A few weeks later and the same girl visits again, this time they chatted for a longer period than they did the first time. I don't want to ask my son about it again so I don't send a message that I don't trust or believe him. Should I be worried? At what age is it ok for a child to be allowed to have a girlfriend?

Pls share your thoughts and advise this woman. Thanks.

This kinda looks like a soap opera come to life, but it happened for realin Brazil. The video show the struggle of a man attempting to escape a cheating woman’s bedroom after her husband came home.

The drama began when a husband and wife were arguing on the third-floor patio of an urban apartment building, 'Who shirt is this,’ the husband demanded in Portuguese. The wife angrily flings the shirt into a crowd that was gathering watching their argument below. 

Suddenly, a shirtless man appeared to the side in the couple's window. He tried to escape by using a rope he made from knotted t-shirts and bravely began to climb down. The crowd started shouting, 'jump, jump', luckily for him, firemen arrived and placed a soft mat for him to jump on. Watch the video after the cut...

MORE THAN 2,000 PEOPLE FLEE BORNO TO NIGER REPUBLIC

The ongoing military operations in Borno State has forced more than 2,000 Nigerians living in border villages to flee to the neigbouring Niger Republic, making them refugees in Difa, Niger Republic. Also, residents of Maiduguri, which is also one of the States in which the President declared a state of emergency, and other communities far from the border, who did not want to be caught in the cross-fire between the military and the Boko Haram sect, have also fled to some neighbouring states, including Kano and Bauchi.

The state of emergency seems to be yeilding results because according to the Director of Defence Information, Defence Headquarters, Brig.-Gen. Chris Olukolade, a total of 20 terrorists were apprehended as they fled. The military also said 10 Boko Haram members were killed, while 65 others were arrested during encounters with the terrorists on Friday. I sincerely hope peace will be restored to the North and Nigeria as a whole.
