Did you know that the Bible, that is widely considered to be
one of the most sacred books in the world, contains verses so
explicit and controversial you’ve probably never heard them in
church?

While some Bible scholars explain the extremely bizarre verses
by being mere metaphors or specific historical context, others
are not so sure about ambiguity of the passages of scripture
and interpret them rather literally. There are just some of the
verses that desperately need to be justified as soon as
possible:


1) 2 Kings 2:23-24; New International Version (NIV)

From there Elisha [the prophet] went up to Bethel. As he was
walking along the road, some boys came out of the town and
jeered at him. “Get out of here, baldy!” they said. “Get out of
here, baldy!” He turned around, looked at them and called
down a curse on them in the name of theLord. Then two bears
came out of the woods and mauled forty-two of the boys.

Does that mean God hates children mocking his prophets and
even sends bears to attack them for being rude?


2) 1 Samuel 15:3 (NIV)

“Now go, attack the Amalekites and totally destroy all that
belongs to them. Do not spare them; put to death men and
women, children and infants, cattle and sheep, camels and
donkeys.”

Is this gruesome verse endorsing genocide?


3) Psalm 137:9 (NIV)

“Happy is the one who seizes your infants and dashes them
against the rocks.”

Is the Bible encouraging brutal murder of children?


4) Deuteronomy 13:6-9 (NIV)

“If your very own brother, or your son or daughter, or the wife
you love, or your closest friend secretly entices you, saying,
“Let us go and worship other gods” (gods that neither you nor
your ancestors have known, gods of the peoples around you,
whether near or far, from one end of the land to the other), do
not yield to them or listen to them. Show them no pity. Do not
spare them or shield them. You must certainly put them to
death. Your hand must be the first in putting them to death,
and then the hands of all the people.”

Is the Bible calling to kill loved ones instead of being tolerant
and merciful?

5) Leviticus 11:10 (NIV)

“But all creatures in the seas or streams that do not have fins
and scales — whether among all the swarming things or
among all the other living creatures in the water — you are to
regard as unclean.”

Eating shrimps, lobsters or crayfish is sinful?


6) 1 Timothy 2:12 (NIV)

“I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over
a man; she must be quiet.”

Is the Bible openly promoting sexism and gender inequality?


7) Matthew 19:24 (NIV)

“Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye
of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom
of God.”

Does that mean as long as you are poor you can enter heaven
easily and if you are prosperous prepare yourself for hellfire?

Jeremiah 9:19 (NIV)

“I will make them eat the flesh of their sons and daughters,
and they will eat one another’s flesh because their enemies
will press the siege so hard against them to destroy them.”

Cannibalism, seriously?


9) 1 Peter 2:18 (NIV)

“Slaves, in reverent fear of God submit yourselves to your
masters, not only to those who are good and considerate, but
also to those who are harsh.”

The Bible promotes slavery?


10) Leviticus 19:27 (NIV)

“Do not cut the hair at the sides of your head or clip off the
edges of your beard.”

Why? Just why?

-Mobile phone has become part of our everyday life

– People may wonder how this device could make someone
contract certain bacterial diseases



The result of a scientific research has thrown more light on
some things, which were thought to be impossible before.
Every mobile phone user go about with his or her phone daily,
without knowing how it could affect his or her health adversely.


In a new research by some scientists in London, United
Kingdom, it was revealed that microscopic faecal matter is
present on mobile phone, especially, if the holder of the device
maintains a poor personal hygiene.

[img]http://i.onthe.io/vllkyt726e64clqet.9b434839.jpg[/img]


A female mobile phone user

Researchers from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical
Medicine and Queen Mary, University of London analysed 780
swab samples (390 from mobile phones and 390 from hands
that held the mobile phones) from 12 different cities in the UK.
The scientists, after their findings, discovered that 16% of both
hands and phones, were contanminated with Escherichia coli
(or E coli ). E coli is a potentially illness-causing bacteria
(singular: bacterium), which is as a result of faeces from the
toilet or latrine.


This happened possibly due to people, who do not use soap
and water to wash their hands after using the toilet. The E coli
will not infect the holders of the phones alone, but to everybody
or anything that comes in contact with their hands.


It should be known that bacteria survive outside the human
body or on an inanimate object for hours, compared to viruses.
Therefore, E coli can survive on a person’s hands and on other
hard surfaces for hours, especially in warm conditions (like on
a smartphone screen), which is easily transferred to door
handles, computer keyboards, food and other people and then
back to you.

People who have the habit of eating their food, without first
washing their hands, should know that they are susceptible to
running stomach and food contanmination, through faecal
material. A person who uses the toilet, should wash his two
hands, before he handles his or her mobile phone.
Dr Ron Cutler of Queen Mary, University of London states:
“People may claim they wash their hands regularly, but
science shows otherwise.”


While trying to explain, who was more guilty of the practice of
neglecting proper after toilet hand washing hygiene between
males and females, Dr Val Curtis of the London School of
Hygiene and Tropical Medicine said: “In previous studies, we
found that men’s hands were more contanminated than
women’s and also that men wash hands less often, than
women in public restrooms.”

Does "Hell" really exist? Is there a "Hell" in the Bible? Hell no!
There is no "Hell" in the Bible!


What is "hell" like, really? Is it located here on earth, or in
some other dimension? Is it real, or a myth? Can the Bible lead
us to the truth?

Where is "hell" first mentioned in the Bible, and
why is it so hard to find in the more accurate modern
translations? Why was the punishment of "hell" never
mentioned to the original sinners―Adam, Eve and Cain―nor to
unbelievers like the Pharaoh who defied God repeatedly?

Are
there Bible verses that clearly describe "hell," explaining its
origins and purpose? Hell no! If you study "hell" in the Bible,
you're in for a long, fruitless search for facts, definitions and
explanations. Why? Because the Hebrew prophets never
mentioned a place where human beings writhe in eternal
torment, gnashing their teeth forever.

Nor did the prophets ever

mention even the possibility of suffering after death. Isn't that
extremely odd, if there really is a hell and God wanted us to
know how to avoid it? The Hebrew Bible (our Old Testament)
mentions a place called Sheol, but as I will demonstrate below
—quoting book, chapter and verse—the Hebrew word Sheol
clearly means "the grave" or "the abode of all the dead, good
and bad.


" The same is true in the New Testament, where the
Greek word Hades also clearly means "the grave" or "the
abode of all the dead." Nor does Gehenna mean "hell," as I
explain below. So "hell" is not a biblical teaching at all, but a
harrowing mistranslation used by charlatans to brainwash
believers into forking over their hard-earned money while
obeying commandments they never bothered to observe
themselves.

(It seems hell hath no fury like a hypocritical
moralist out to control other people's behavior.) Unfortunately,
the innocents who suffer most from this hellish dogma are
highly impressionable children who trust their parents, pastors,
youth directors and Sunday School teachers not to mislead
them ...

we are tired of fake promises

The lawmaker representing Ibadan North East\South East
Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives Abuja,
Hon. Adedapo Lam-Adesina (Omo Oloore) on Wednesday 9th
March, 2016 once again blazed the trail as he provided
financial grant to support, improve or start-up businesses for
250 petty traders carefully selected within his constituency
under the Omo – Oloore women Support Scheme to mark the
2016 international women’s day which is held on March 8th
,every year.

He once again reiterated his readiness to challenge the status
quo of docility, incompetence and non-performance in
governance.


“During this critical time of starring economic realities where
small businesses nationwide are challenged by financial
constraints, I am resolute in my belief to reduce idleness,
unemployment, hunger and poverty by assisting women with a
substantial working capital to boost their businesses. I am
launching this scheme today to fulfill one of the promises that
is contained in my 8point integral action plan of my manifesto
to the electorates, ” Hon. Adesina emphasized.

He further appealed to business women to make the best use

economic meltdown as a result of negligence and poor
handling of finances.

magnitude will be organized in our constituency, let us also
make history with our creativity by multiplying the money into
something great in the nearest future.”


Speaking further, he said that a training session was
organized for all the beneficiaries, handled by a professional in

any successful business to thrive, as they were exposed to
practicable approaches to self reliance, financial discipline,
starting small business theory, elementary business
mathematics e.t.c.

The beneficiaries were selected from all the 24 wards of the
federal constituency across the two local governments of
Ibadan North East and Ibadan South East ranging from market

The Court of Appeal Lagos Division, Friday dismissed an
appeal filed by ex beauty queen, Ibinabo Fiberesima
challenging a Lagos High Court judgement which sentenced
her to serve five years in prison for the death of one Dr. Giwa
Suraj.

The embattled president of the Actors’ Guild of Nigeria (AGN)
was sentenced by Justice Deborah Oluwayemi for reckless
driving which caused the death of Suraj in an auto accident
along the Lekki-Epe Expressway, Lagos.
He was a staff of a Lagos State hospital.


Dissatisfied, Fiberesima in her amended appellant brief filed by
her lawyer, Nnaemeka Amaechina, urged the court to set aside
the sentence and restore the decision of the Magistrate Court
which sentenced her to a N100, 000 fine.

But, delivering judgment Friday, the appellate court dismissed
the appeal and affirmed the High Court’s judgment.
In a unanimous decision delivered by Justice Jamilu
Yammama Tukur the court held that the trial Magistrate Court
lacked the discretion to grant Ibinabo an option of fine after her
conviction.
It held further that the appeal lacked merit and thereby
dismissed it accordingly.

Other members of the panel are Justice U.I. Ndukwe-Anyanwu
(Mrs.) (presiding) and Justice Tijani Abubakar respectively.
Ibinabo, who was visibly apprehensive throughout the
proceeding, burst into tears immediately the judgment was
delivered.
The court had, at its last sitting, ordered her to appear before it
on judgement day.


Speaking on the judgement, her lawyer, Nnaemeka Amaechina,
said it would be challenged at the Supreme Court adding that a
Notice of Appeal had been filed already.

The Commissioner of Police, Lagos State Command had in
2005 charged Fiberesima to an Igbosere Magistrates’ Court on
a two-count charge of dangerous and reckless driving along
the Lekki- Epe Expressway, Lagos which resulted in the death
of Suraj.

She was awarded a N100, 000 fine by the Court, but this
decision was tested at the High Court by the Lagos State
Government.


At the High Court, Justice Oluwayemi set aside the option of
N100, 000 fine imposed and sentenced Fiberesima to five
years imprisonment for dangerous and reckless driving.
She held that the trial Magistrate exercised judicial
recklessness when he gave the convict an option of N100, 000
fine and this did not serve the purpose of justice.
She subsequently ordered that the N100, 000 should be
returned to Fiberesima.

The court added that Section 28 of the Road Traffic Law clearly
provides that where a reckless and dangerous driving has
caused the death of a person, the accused person shall be
guilty of an offence and is liable on conviction to imprisonment
of seven years.

Dissatisfied, Fiberesima in her amended appellant brief filed by
her lawyer, Nnaemeka Amaechina before the Court of Appeal
urged the court to set aside the five year sentence and restore
the decision of the Magistrate Court.



Amaechina had argued that the Magistrate’s Court exercised
its discretion properly and there was no ground to review it by
the high court.

He submitted that by virtue of the Notice of Increased in
Jurisdiction of Magistrates, No. 7 of 2006, the trial Magistrate
could only impose a maximum of 7 years imprisonment or
N100, 000.00 fine.

He added that N100, 000.00 fine is the maximum limit the trial
Magistrate can impose as fine and that was what it imposed
on the appellant.

In her response, counsel to Lagos State, Rotimi Odutola (Mrs.)
argued that the law creating the offence of dangerous driving
causing death has provided for a term of imprisonment as
punishment for anyone convicted under section 28 hence the
trial Magistrate ought not to exercise such arbitrary discretion
to impose N100.000.00 as fine.


Odutola further submitted that the children of the deceased
have been permanently deprived of the ‘’measureless
contributions’’ of their father to their lives as a result of his
death caused by the appellant.

According to an onlooker identified as Mr Ibeleme, former
Rivers state governor and current minister of transportation,
Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, offered a ride to some workers who
were stranded and were looking for a means of getting to work
in Abuja, on Friday, March 11.

The minister was on his way to AIT TV station, for a program
called ‘focus Nigeria’, when he saw the stranded workers and
offered them a ride, while asking his security detail to drop off
the rest.

– About 22 top officers from the budget office of the
federation have been redeployed to other departments

– All affected officers are expected to report in their new
locations on or before the close of work today

Back in February, President Muhammadu Buhari vowed that all
those involved in the padding of the 2016 budget will face the
most severe punishment.

President Muhammadu Buhari has removed about 184 top
budget officials from budget duties and redeployed them to
establishments that have little or nothing to do with budget
over their roles in padding the 2016 budget.


The president’s move is in pursuance to his earlier stance to
deal decisively with all those involved in the padding of the
2016 national budget which caused much embarrassment to
the federal government.


Speaking about the shakeup, a top official in the budget office
confirmed to Vanguard that 22 top officers from the budget
office of the federation were affected in the mass deployment.
The rest were moved away from budget-related duties in other
ministries, departments and agencies, (MDAs).


Following the mass redeployment, 14 other directors said to
have been tested have been redeployed to the same office with
immediate effect to replace the removed officers.
The directive to redeploy the tainted officers to other duties
reportedly came from the office of the head of service of the
federation.

All the affected officers, according to the directive, are to report
in their new locations on or before the close of work today,
March 10


Recall that back in February, President Muhammadu Buhari
complained the unauthorised alterations of the 2016 budget
had completely changed the document from the one he
presented to the National Assembly,


He vowed that all those involved in the padding of the budget
will face the most severe punishment. He also ordered for
investigation into allegations of fraudulent alterations in the
document with strict orders that all cases of discrepancies,
errors and ambiguities be resolved promptly.

Hajiya Mariya, wife of Sokoto State Governor Aminu Waziri
Tambuwal, has pledged to sponsor the education of 700 girls
annually to enable them acquire quality education for a
brighter future.

This she said will be done in collaboration with the Sokoto
state ministries of education, women affairs and the state
SDGs office.

Speaking at an event organised to mark the international
women’s day at the the Milton Keynes College in the United
Kingdom, Mrs tambuwal said her intervention will target girls
from economically-disadvantaged familiesRepresented by Dr
Asma’u Wali, Mrs Tambuwal pledged to encourage parity
between male and female genders in Sokoto state. “Parity
begins with education. Without an education it is far more
difficult to have a fulfilling and fulfilled life.

Without access to education there’s less opportunity to earn more and live behind
a life of poverty,” she said.

According to her, “I want to see an end to gender gaps in my
country as I know you all want to see a similar end to gender
gaps here in the UK,” she said She called on employers to
support parity by paying men and women the same pay for
the same work. She raised her concern on why sectors
dominated by women are low paid.

Haj Mariya called on parents and guardians to encourage their
children into becoming professionals.

She thanked the Principal of Milton Keynes College, Dr Mills for
giving her the opportunity to speak at the event, and also urged
everyone to support the Pledge for parity.

Prophet David Owunor, the Kenyan pastor who is in Nigeria for
a crusade.

Photo: The Nation


David Owunor, a Kenyan prophet who just arrived Nigeria for a
crusade, has stated that he is on a mission to the country to
put an end to the ‘gospel of money’.

The Nation reports that the prophet who addressed newsmen
at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA), Ikeja
Lagos on Thursday, March 10, is to be guest minister at an
interdenominational Christian platform, ‘Repent Now Nigeria’
holding at the MUSON Centre, Lagos.

He said: “Nigeria is a God fearing nation, but now if they are
really God-fearing, then this is the moment to return to the true
gospel of cross and the blood- the holy salvation and the
gospel that is not connected to money- that we may prepare
the hearts of the people and the nation for the coming of the
Messiah and then everything else will follow.


“The Bible says seek ye first the Kingdom of God and His
righteousness and everything else will fall in place. So I really
bring the message of holiness of repentance and to prepare for
the coming of the King.



“So the kingdom of the church you see in Nigeria now, the
building of universities, the money and private aircraft acquired
with big money and all of that is going to come down. That is
why I have come. I come with tremendous powers and there is
no question about that.”

Prophet Owunor, a former doctorate research at various
universities in the US before becoming a clergy, claimed that
God has spoken with him about the coming of the Messiah and
that he has also spoken with John the Baptist.

According to him: “This is the moment of the latter rain, the
latter visitation, and so you have to at this time, come on
board and Nigeria also has to come on board and this revival
has no bounds. However, there is no time.

“Whatever that has been instructed out is going to be given
out; big harvest is taking place, visitation is taking place.
“So I really come to rise up against the gospel of money, that is
in this city. The gospel of buy your morning water, whichever
water, gather people from Southern Africa, carry money to
greet the men of God.

“So, all that is going to come down now. We will now return to
Christ Jesus the Lord and to the free salvation of the Cross and
blood and then of course, there’s a healing service coming up
and the Lord will begin an open heaven here by the visiting of
this land to establish the message. The Messiah is coming, let
us prepare together.”

– Young girl narrates ordeal in court

– Says father took her to the hotel and did it twice at home

– Adds that he asked her not to tell her mother

defiled his 10-year-old daughter. Photo: Daily Post
John Ofuegbu has been jailed for two years after being found
guilty of sexual assault on his 10-year-old daughter.

Daily Post reports that the 58-year-old was jailed by a high
court in Port Harcourt, the Rivers state capital after being
found guilty of sexually abusing and exploiting the youngster,
Ebubechukwu Ofuegbu.


The young girl told the court that the man carried out the said
act on her on three different occasions; twice in his room at
home and once at a hotel in Trans Amadi, Port Harcourt.


“My father asked if I like him. He said I should sit down on the
bed. I asked him, Daddy what are you doing. My daddy
removed his clothes and also asked me to remove my clothes.
I was crying and now said I will report to my mother but he
said I should not tell her.

“Another time, my mother traveled, my daddy took me to a
hotel at Trans Amadi where he paid 4 thousand naira for a
room. At the hotel, we watched a film which they say is a
corrupt film.



“My mother took us to the hospital and found out that I have
been having sex. She asked me who did it, and I told her that it
was my father,” the 10-year-old narrated sadly.

Justice Adolphus Enebeli, who handled the case, noted that he
was convinced that the accused person committed the
abominable crime, explaining further that the man violated
sections of the Rivers state Child Rights Law of 2009.

“Evidences were presented showing that the vagina of the
victim had been ruptured as a result of frequent and heavy
penetration,” he added.

While expressing his delight at the girl’s honesty, Justice
Enebeli said he also discovered that Ofuegbu and his wife were
estranged, adding that there was bitterness in the matrimony.
He informed further that “Ofuegbu took undue advantage of the
natural love and bond of his daughter. He lured his child,
Ebubechukwu by exploiting and manipulating his own
daughter. He abandoned the duty of a father to protect his won
daughter” and also slammed the man for taking undue
advantage of the bond between him and his daughter.


The accused has reportedly been in prison for about five years
since the beginning of the trial in 2011, while the offence is
said to be a punishable crime of 14 years in prison without
option of fine, but was sentenced to two years only.


In his reaction to the judgment, Ofuegbu said: “I don’t have
anything to say but God in heaven will judge me. I have never
abused Ebubechukwu in anyway. Where are other women? I
know all these things happened because of the problem I have
with my wife. But for who ever is behind this, God will judge.”
State prosecuting counsel, Cordelia Eke expressed her joy at
the fact that judgment served should be a deterrent to other
randy fathers.


“We derive some solace in the fact that justice has been served.
I know that it cannot compensate for the trauma that she will
be going through but I know that this goes to show that the
state could do something about what happened to the little girl.
“We also hope that those that are victims of sexual offences

Before an Igbo man can emerge as president of Nigeria,
Ndigbo must learn to put their acts together.

This is according to Victor Oye, the national chairman of the All
Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA), Vanguard reports.

Oye who stated this while addressing party faithful in Aba
called on Ndigbo to embrace the party. He noted that APGA
remains the only hope for the political emancipation of Ndigbo
in Nigeria.


According to him, APGA offers the best political option for
Ndigbo to actualize her dream of producing a Nigerian
President than other political parties.


Before an Igbo president can emerge in Nigeria, Ndigbo must
learn to put their acts together, according to Victor Oye, APGA
national chairman

He said: “Ndigbo should know that charity begins at home. If
all Igbo people are APGA, how will anybody steal our votes?
We don’t vote in one direction, that why there is confusion. If
all of us vote APGA, it will be difficult for anybody to rig
elections in the Southeast. APGA is the party for Ndigbo.

Unless we start from home and win the five Southeast states
for APGA, we won’t make any progress. Every Igbo man
should know that Ndigbo are nowhere in Nigeria’s political
equation.

“Ndigbo should have produced the Senate president, but we
failed to put our acts together and the position went to the
minority. Ndigbo should shine their eyes. Unless Ndigbo wins
the five South East state for APGA, it would be difficult for an
Igbo to emerge Nigerian President. 2019 is another election
year. We must get things right.

“We came to office in June 2015 and since then; APGA has
spread to every nook and cranny of the country. In Bayelsa
state, we have two State House of Assembly seats. In Taraba,
we have one Assembly seat and one House of Representatives
seat.

“Anambra, we have 28 out of 30 seats. In Abia state, it should
have been 24 out of 24, but they stole it and left 11 for APGA.
In Niger state, we have seven elected councilors. In 2019, all
the states in the Southeast will be controlled by APGA.”

Naij.com recalls that a former head of state Ibrahim Badamosi
Babangida while reacting on the agitation for Biafra and the
turbulence within the southeastern region, said there was no
need for the Biafra agitation.


He however said he will support the Igbos to take over power
in 2019.

– Former president Goodluck Jonathan has taken to Facebook
to slam his critics.

– He said an online publication has spread falsehoods about
him.

– The publication in question was not named by Jonathan.
Former president Goodluck Jonathan has taken to Facebook to
hit out at his online critics.


In a brief statement posted on his official Facebook page,
Jonathan slammed an online publication for spreading what
he described as falsehoods
about him.

[img]http://i.onthe.io/vllkyt4h2jlglspub.41c5bafd.jpg[/img]

Ex-president Jonathan was clearly furious when he made his
statement


“My attention has just been drawn to a spurious online
publication alleging that I recently made comments on the state
of the nation’s economy,” Jonathan said.

“This falsehood must have sprung from the writer’s
imagination, as I was neither at any forum requiring my
interventions on the state of the economy, nor met with any
group of newsmen, as claimed in the write-up.”

“I will simply urge Nigerians to disregard such fabrication, and
rather concentrate on working for the good of our nation.”


Jonathan’s comments were well received by his supporters on
Facebook with some of his followers describing him as
Nigeria’s finest president.

However, Jonathan was not without his detractors who
slammed the ex-president for speaking out against the online
publication.


[img]http://i.onthe.io/vllkyt7clkbsnnkbt.302d3d50.jpg[/img]

The former president did not mention the online publication in
question however the cause of his outrage is believed to be
Weekly Post Nigeria.

The publication posted an article earlier on Monday in which it
claimed Jonathan said he could reverse Nigeria’s economic
fortunes in four months.

“The APC promised Nigerians a lot and are obviously fading,
but I can tell you this, me and my friend Ifeanyi Ubah, we can
reverse this mess in less than four months,” Weekly Post
Nigeria quotes Jonathan as saying.

“All I know is, Nigerians should not lose hope. That’s all I can
say. If your children studying abroad are forced to come back
home, don’t lose hope. If the dollar is N600, don’t lose hope.
Me and Ifeanyi Ubah are working on something big,” Jonathan
was quoted as saying.


Weekly Post Nigeria has so far failed to respond to Jonathan’s
statement.

– A Nigerian woman has been ordered to hand over N6
million she made from sex trafficking.

– Lizzy Idahose was jailed in 2014 in the UK for human
trafficking and various other offences.

– She used the threat of juju magic to coerce women into
becoming sex workers.



A woman jailed for trafficking Nigerian women into the UK
to work in the sex industry has been ordered to pay back
more than £21,000 (nearly N6 million).

Lizzy Idahosa, 26, was sentenced to eight years in jail in
2014 after being found guilty of human trafficking.
A confiscation order to seize the funds has been granted
at a court in Cardiff, the capital of Wales, under
the proceeds of crime act.

[img]http://i.onthe.io/vllkyt2ih9qdfeonc.7aad7fc3.jpg[/img]

The trial’s judge said Idahosa forced her victims to live in
hell


The money must be paid back within 28 days or she faces
a further nine month prison sentence.
During the original trial, the jury heard the trafficked
women worked in brothels to repay Idahosa £50,000 (just
over N14 million) for travel from Nigeria and false
documents.


Both victims, who could not be named for legal reasons,
said that before travelling to London on the promise of a
better life, they had been subjected to juju rituals to make
them afraid of disobeying her.

Thousands of Nigerian women are forced into sex work
due to juju
Idahosa was also found her guilty of inciting prostitution
and money laundering.


Following the confiscation order, Gemma Williams, from
Immigration Enforcement’s Financial Investigation Unit,
said: “Idahosa was prepared to take advantage of her
victims’ vulnerability and desperation for her own financial
gain, but her greed has not paid off.


“In addition to her hefty prison sentence, she has now
been ordered to pay back money she took from her
victims.”


Nigerians are often trafficked to the UK under false
pretences and are then forced into prostitution or slavery
to benefit their abusers.

Two weeks ago, a Nigerian mental health nurse working in
the UK was convicted of using juju magic to coerce a
women into sex work.

– President Buhari in a fresh interview with foreign media speaks about Nigeria’s problems

– He restated that naira devaluation is against national interests

– The president claimed that he hasn’t failed against Boko Haram

– Buhari addresses Biafra issue



[img]http://i.onthe.io/vllkyt61u6q9hn64b.3012398c.jpg[/img]
President Muhammadu Buhari during his last visit to Qatar has given the interview to Al Jazeera.

The Nigerian president has been speaking about the challenges the country is facing now, comprising the naira devaluation, the Boko Haram, anti-corruption crusade, the Biafra issue.
Buhari is seeking support for his fight against corruption and to promote much-needed investment in his country’s ailing economy.


Qatar is the actual president of Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and Nigeria is Africa’s largest oil producer.

The low oil prices have a destroying influence on the Nigerian economy, which has long depended on the export of oil.


President Buhari said: “ We were unable to diversify our economy, hence we are much more disadvantaged by the lower oil prices.”

He tells the journalist that he values the institution of OPEC and that “ Nigeria will make the necessary sacrifice to remain in OPEC.”

On naira devaluation, the Nigerian leader of the nation said he would not reconsider his insistence on freezing the currency. President Buhari said as Nigeria “virtually imports everything, from rice to toothpicks”, it cannot afford to devalue its currency.


“If it is against our national interest, why can’t we go against the IMF advice? ” Buhari asks.


Two major Buhari’s promises during the election campaign last year were to eradicate corruption and end the Boko Haram insurgency.

Speaking on the Boko Haram, the president restated that none of local government areas has been occupied by the insurgents, adding that he hasn’t failed against the insurgents


However, the Boko Haram remains active in many areas of Nigeria, seemingly able to strike at will.

Being asked how Buhari is planning to deal with Biafra, the president said: “ At least two millions Nigerians were killed in the Biafra war. And for somebody to wake up, may be they weren’t born. Looking for Biafra after two millions people were
killed, they are joking with the security and Nigeria won’t tolerate Biafra.”

The declaration of the Independent Republic of Biafra in 1967 caused a civil war that resulted in the death of millions and the re-annexation of the republic to Nigeria in 1970.

The administration of President Buhari has always maintainedthat Nigeria’s unity is a priority for the country and that while peaceful pro-Biafran protests are welcome, demanding the
separation of the Biafran territories is against the constitution.
