Crime › 6-year-old Girl Sexually Assaulted By Two 7-yr-old Boys After They Watched Porn by dabrin(op): 8:31pm On Oct 28, 2018 |
A six-year-old girl is alleged to have been sexually assaulted by two seven-year-old boys in a school in Australia just after they watched porn on their phones, local media reports. Despite claims the assault was of "high-level", the police at the time failed to carry out appropriate investigations because the accused were minors under 10. Cyber-safety expert Susan McLean, who runs workshops for schools across the country, spoke to the mother of the alleged victim. She blasted the school for failing to report the incident when it happened in the middle of last year, according to the Weekend Australian. Ms McLean said: This was high-level stuff. This wasn’t just low-level, and I understand you cannot charge a person under 10 but if you’ve got two seven-year-old boys sexually assaulting a six-year-old girl there needs to be an intervention of some description.
It was totally swept under the carpet by the school.
The girl has since left school, while her alleged attackers are still attending.
Lutheran Education Australia’s state executive director, John Proeve, confirmed the two seven-year-olds had watched material "understood to be of explicit sexual nature".
"We know the behaviour is not consistent with what we would call normal playground behaviour," Mr Proeve added.
A police investigation has since been launched. News via Gistmore - http://gistmore.com/6-year-old-girl-sexually-assaulted-two-7-year-old-boys-watched-pornLalasticlala mynd44

Politics › Osinbajo Recounts How He Was ‘in Love’ With A Girl In His Class When He Was 10 by dabrin(op): 5:45pm On Oct 28, 2018 |
Nigeria’s Vice President Yemi Osinbajo who took a walk down the memory lane, recounted how he was ‘in love’ with a girl in his class when he was 10-years-old. According to Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, he also penned down a romantic poem to her but got caught by his mum who found it while cleaning his bag. Read the post shared on his Facebook page below; When I was 10 years old, there was a girl in my class who I was quite certain at the time that I could give my life. So I wrote her a lovely poem over a weekend; I wrote the poem on Friday and finished it on Saturday. And it was, if I may say so myself, a work of sheer genius. It ended with the dramatic words; “your warm embrace may be the last desire of my heart before I die!”
I tucked it in my school bag and looked forward with a heart filled with love for Monday, to present to the object of my affections.
My mum, while cleaning out the bag, found the letter, and all hell broke loose. Needless to say, she beat the poetic genius out of me that terrible afternoon.
But that’s not the end of the story. True love as you know, will survive even the worst brutality. So, I bore my injuries as a worthy suffering for my beloved. On Monday morning, I found the best opportunity to give her a freshly written version of the poem. I turned away as she took the letter, I didn’t want to behold the sheer pleasure as she read it, but as I turned around, I noticed that she had actually handed the poem over to the teacher and she was pointing at me! While my physical bruises have healed from that experience, from as you can imagine, what happened with the teacher, my capacity for writing romantic poetry had been greatly diminished.
Fantastical Futures is the audaciously inspirational theme of this iteration of the Ake Arts & Book Festival. Why do we in today’s world, dare to hope for a future so fantastic that it is described as fantastical? The reason it is, if I may offer one, is that there is for those who have cast this great vision; Lola, her friends and collaborators, they’ve have not allowed their vision to be beclouded by the cataracts of discouragement that so easily beset us. Two of those cataracts to our vision are worthy of mention.
The first is a disdain for introspection, which has just come over time, that capacity for deep thought, and making that the basis of planning and action. It is a disdain for introspection that causes our elite to spend or embezzle all the cash and opportunities of the present and make it the burden of a leaner future to pay for our corruption and carelessness.
A failure to interrogate the past, coupled with a reluctance to explain the benefit of deferring gratification. Is the creative sometimes, unable to stick to a cause because it may no longer be popular?
Niyi Osundare, the poet I’m sure we’re all familiar with, captures this elite inability to defer gratification in the provocative poem titled “Eating Tomorrow’s Yam”.
And I quote a portion of it, he said: “There is only one left in the village barn, the prodigal calls for a knife ‘what shall we eat tomorrow’, the people ask, ‘if we finish all the yam today just how shall we feel when the dunghill has relieved stomachs of their improvident burden? And says the prodigal: ‘tomorrow will take care of itself, how can we know the next day if we die of hunger today?”
The recursive one step forward two steps backwards of our histories, especially in Africa, has caused Prof. Tanure Ojaide, and I’m sure you’re all familiar with him as well, in his angry style, to ask “What poets do our leaders read?”
Again, Tanure Ojaide in his poem, “No longer our country”, remonstrates, and I quote him; “We have lost it, a country we were born into, we can now sing dirges of the commonwealth only of yesterday. We have a country that is no longer our own.”
But even he, that is Ojaide, will agree that men and women, not spirits build societies. Which leads me to the second cataract that blurs our vision. Imagine the failure to recognize the responsibility of the individual, especially the gifted individual.
Does the artist have a responsibility to society beyond that of the ordinary citizen? Is there a civic tax payable on talent? Does the fact of your genius place upon you, a moral burden to attempt to use the powerful voice of your art to fight for the soul of the land, especially to fight for the soul of the land from whence you came?
To take moral positions, are you by virtue of your intellect and creativity a moral agent? Or are you not? Can you or not be neutral? Can you be politically neutral? Can you in the face of so much that needs to be done, poverty, deprivation, and injustice, stay politically neutral? Can Africa afford to have its best talents wearing halos of political innocence and saying “let us leave politics to the scoundrels?”
There is a growing impatience of the deprived millions of our people with the elite, which includes all of us in this room; the bombs tied to the 11-year-old body of Safiaru a malnourished girl, who has never been to school, cannot distinguish between a lawyer like Yemi Osinbajo or a writer like Molara Wood. The bomb does not discriminate!
Two things
Earlier this year, the government established the Technology and Creativity Sector Working Group: a policy committee of Federal Government Ministers and Heads of Agencies with Creatives, Tech and Entertainment business owners.
The group meets to work on policy, including rules and regulations regularly. So, we do have now, a policy group, who takes into account the sorts of views that Creatives may want especially in formulating policy and that is so for persons of technology as well. So, I think there is plenty of room for expression, especially the way we want to see policies shaped that could affect our Creatives and could affect those involved in technology.
The last thing, did you enjoy the story I told earlier? It was fiction. I wish us all a fantastical future! News via Gistmore - http://gistmore.com/osinbajo-recounts-love-girl-class-10Lalasticlala mynd44

Politics › Governor Fayemi Seals Houses Allegedly Owned By Fayose In Ekiti State by dabrin(op): 6:47pm On Oct 27, 2018 |
Governor Kayode Fayemi who was sworn in few weeks ago, has reportedly sealed two houses said to belong to the former Governor the State, Ayodele Fayose. The buildings said to be adjacent the official residence of the Deputy Governor, are located in the Government Reservation Area (GRA), Ado-Ekiti within the precincts of the Government House and were sealed by the Ministry of Housing, Urban and Physical Development, who claimed that the twin duplexes were sealed for lack of approved plan and permit. The document signed by the Director of Urban and Regional Planning in the Ministry of Housing, Urban and Physical Development, reads; “It was discovered during inspection by the Inspectorate staff of our Ministry that a residential building by you at GRA has no approved plan permit for the site or bring same to our office to get certification for the erection. You are hereby ordered to suspend the use of the building premises until approved plan is submitted for clearance.” Reacting to the development through his media aide, Idowu Adelusi, Fayose who accused Governor Kayode Fayemi of vendetta and desperation, denied ownership of the buildings in question urging the state government to provide evidence to prove his ownership of the property.
“The sealing was a vindictive action over issue that doesn’t worth government’s attention. The property in question does not belong to Fayose. Fayemi’s government should produce evidence linking the former Governor to the property.
Fayose has said he was ready for probe and that he will appear in person before any panel set up by Fayemi. So, why the desperation?
Our advise is that Fayemi should place high premium on payment of the workers’ salary arrears since ?30bn is already in his custody released by the Federal Government and not embarking on witch-hunting or disparaging his predecessor. The money should not be used to fund the election petition filed against him nor to repay money spent on his fraudulent victory at the poll.
He should hurry up to do all he could for the benefit of common Ekiti people because time is not on his side.” Gist via Gistmore - http://gistmore.com/governor-fayemi-seals-houses-allegedly-owned-fayose-ekiti-state

Celebrities › American Model, Symba Declares Love For Nigeria After Meeting Osinbajo (photo) by dabrin(op): 5:44pm On Oct 27, 2018 |
American model, Symba who once went viral after a rare photoshoot on Victoria Island in Lagos has declared her love for Nigeria after meeting VP Osinbajo. Symba met with Osinbajo at a Vice Presidential dinner last night, and was clearly positive about the meeting as she wrote; Ok so I always say to people that I LOVE NIGERIA and last night was a reminder of why. President Obama was in office for 8yrs years in my very own country and I am yet to get a glimpse of him much less a video with the Vice President of Nigeria. To many it means nothing but attending the Vice Presidential dinner last night could be the beginning of the rest of my life on a business level.
My connection to Nigeria isn’t by way of origin it’s by spirit and force. The music of Fela, Tiwa, Wizkid, Davido and many others made me stumble across Nigerian music, fall madly in love with it and ever since I have never turned back.
The first song to enlighten me was “party hard” by. Nigeria as a whole made me fall in love with it as well. We all know I love coins but putting coins aside it is one of the most motivating and inspiring countries I’ve been too. It’s the only place where you would meet someone of the age of 60 and that person has had almost 5 professions. For example: a accountant, lawyer, real estate developer, oil and gas engineer and now owns a night club.
I mean WTDDA? (Where they do that at??) I love the hustle mentality, the fact that if you are in the right place at the right time you can embark on a person on project that can be life changing. I love the balance between work and play whereas in America all you do is work work work. I love the fashion, the films, the … let me stop here I don’t want this turning into something else . If you have a brain and enter this country with drive and focused you can make great things happen and “leave your footprint in the sand”. I’m ready to do some greater things in this new place I call home Nigeria. Gist via Gistmore - https://gistmore.com/american-model-symba-declares-love-nigeria-meeting-osinbajo
