None of them had any witness. The girl might be working with her uncle to frame the man or he might have truly raped her. Where were the witnesses when he raped her. No noise or nothing? So, the only thing we hope for is that the judge removes sentiments from this issue. |
Olusharp:Yes, it's allowed. |

Election or Home?- (An Excerpt of A Mystery) Usman waited agitatedly for the next day, February 16. The tension in Nigeria was too much to ask anyone to be lonely. But Usman was lonely. He didn't choose this life but fate had redirected his path from the misfortune of Fortune City, the private Island he grew and had made him lose his parents and even the family that took him to care for him. Also, he grew up with a friend cum brother, Bidemi Adeoti but he died also. Usman was lonely. And the only friends he had in Lagos, Nigeria, was none other than his car, which he used for Uber, with which he made a daily income. So, when a knock came on his door, he wondered who could have decided to visit him at that odd hour. His mind swirled round with fear that it was the police. Some days before, a politician had paid him and some other guys to steal some of the materials for the election. They had done that successfully. Then, he was paying them again to shoot severally into the air after some particular people had voted the next day. The plan was simple. They were to be masked and away from the reach of the authority. Despite being a great day for him, he just needed something to meet his needs. The man paid them well but they would get the other part of the money after the deal was done. All he was waiting for was the next morning. 'Who's that?' 'Good… Morning'. 'Morning… In your village', he shouted as he got near the door. 'Night. Anything. Good something'. 'Who do you want to see?' 'Are you Usman Alade?' 'Yes…' He opened the door to reveal a lanky youth. The little light from the bulb in their corridor reflected on his face. Ire, the little boy living with his parents opposite their room, ran off to their room, excited about something. 'What do…' 'Sir, someone said I should give you this', the young man said and gave him an android phone. Usman glanced around in the corridor. 'Who?' 'I don't know her. She gave me last year and said I should give you today'. 'Last year?' Usman was shocked. 'Yes. I had even tried selling it but she was monitoring me. I just want it out of my hands. And what does it matter, she was paying well. So, when she called me today, I knew I had to give you. Good bye'. 'Heys…. Come back. How does she look? What was her name?' The young man hurried off. He switched it on and its wallpaper read: Call your lost phone number. Usman was surprised. He misplaced a phone in the car last year but couldn't retrieve the phone number because he didn't really need it. And he couldn't recollect the figures. However, Google had synchronized it with his contact; thus, it was easy to get it within seconds. With trembling hands, he dialed the number and it rang. He was perplexed. Holding his breathe, he wondered who could be on the other line. The call was rejected and a message popped up: log on to 1.43.bR%Gcsr.14.34t by 11:58pm. Nothing scared a man than to have mysteries thrown his way. He felt cold drive itself through his belly and sweat popping out of his pores. He waited impatiently for the time. By 11:58, like one on fire, he logged into the number and got connected to a webcam. 'He has logged in people', a lady shouted. He had seen her somewhere but couldn't place his hands on the place. 'Get into view. Look for light'. He did as he was told. 'Hey! Lady… Who are you? Tani e?' He asked before he could stop himself. 'Calm down, Usman. It's me, Rachael'. 'Rachael… I don't know any Rachael. What do you want?' 'From secondary school. You know Grace Ademola or Adeoti now, right?' 'Bidemi's wife. Yes. Wait. Rachael and Grace… Rags… You're Rachael'. 'Yeah! Yeah! Rag. Rachael and Grace'. 'You're the Rachael…? I thought you went missing' 'Indeed… Story for another time. Grace, over here'. 'Grace is there with you?' 'And me…' Bidemi said. 'Bidemi!!!' Usman screamed. He jumped off his seat. He recognized the voice. 'Usman. It's nice hearing your voice. Rachael told us how you left to Lagos'. 'Yes o. We're waiting for election tomorrow. How are you alive?' 'It's a long story', Bidemi replied. 'Tell him', Rachael shouted. 'They are tracing the line'. ' Yes tell me everything. What's happening?' 'Oh! The story would have to wait. We need your help. We need you in Brown Valley. We need to get out of Brown Valley. It's been fenced'. 'Who fenced it?' 'They are almost onto us', Rachael shouted. 'Please come. Bring a long thick rope, gallons of water… A lot… and if possible, weapons. When you get there, go through Suncity. We will meet you in the forest along the border' 'Yes. Be careful o. They are battling Zombie Rats there', Another lady shouted. 'Hi, I'm Rita'. 'That's preposterous', Grace said. 'Preposterous? She's right', Rachael interjected. 'They are almost on to us'. 'We would find you', Bidemi shouted 'But why?' Usman asked. 'Our lives are in grave danger', Rita shouted. 'We've got to go', Rachael shouted. 'By the way, happy 29th birthday', Bidemi shouted. 'Yeah! Happy birthday Usman. When we see, I will make your favorite', Grace shouted and waved. 'Bye…' 'We're expecting you?' Thinking it through, he waited for the midnight. It was election day. May money be damned. His family were in danger. Quickly, he scouted for gallons of water and fetched them. He even stole his neighbor's gallons and tightened them with ropes in his car. Whatever the reason they needed water and whatever was wrong with them, he must get there in time. The next morning, he was going to Fortune City, the Island of his birth. He hurried to the bush and packed the pistols as well as the bullets and dropped them in his backpack. Being with his family was what he would elect. Buhari or Atiku wouldn't even know him if he voted any of them. His votes might not count. Even the man that sent them to shoot the next day might call the police on them but Bidemi, Grace and Rachael would definitely be his home. And if he had to shoot his way to them, he would. They were his home. |

Note: Links to the research in this post are on official website. Have you ever seen boners in guys in public? Yuck! You think. Women have been known to always stare at men's boners etc but have never been caught, you should check out why they have never been caught here. A lot of people have pointed out various boners in men from several pictures on the internet. At various times, you must have seen pictures or videos of men with strong erections of boners. And the next thing that comes to the mind is that the guys need sex. But my problem with these people is that many of them are yet to understand that arousal is not consent. Until you realize that arousal is not the cause of every erection, we might be forced to call every man a pervert. Some ladies even have the pleasure of exciting themselves as the cause of men's boner. How? No... No... Tell me, how? And you guys too, I'm sure there are times you have wondered why you had erections without feeling anything at the moment. This, my friend, is every man's reality. I also had this fear that I was a pervert. As in, society has written it all over my mind and soon some of us even accept it as our way. But I'm not one that loves convention. So, I sought out the reasons for this and Boom! I was struck with a new understanding. My brother! You have been lied to. Most of us have categorized erection into two major categories but there are more To that end, I find it essential to show the various reasons for the erections men have per time. 1. Sexual Thought: Truth be told this is the major reason for boners and erections. When people begin to have sexual thought as regards a woman or women. This erection is not necessarily caused by the presence of a woman. All that is needed is the image of past sexual involvement with someone. However, we can't overrule that the guy might truly be thinking of the girl in front of them. But you should know that this thought is one that the guy deliberately thought of and maintained. But people around you would not know. Among Christians, that have not allowed perversion to take over their lives, this is mostly reserved for the women they consider their spouse. 2. Sexual Stimulation: Another reason men have boners or erections is sexual stimulations by a woman. Here, there is a deliberate or unconscious effort from the woman's side. This time around, the guy might be seen fighting it but the stupid boner would refuse to bow to its master. This is the same feeling you see from a Christian brother or a married man, who despite the boner, still wants to get away from such environment. Unfortunately, the current dresses and clothes worn by many of the women we encounter have the chance of stimulating these desire. Not that alone. Do you know that simple things aside the naked skin can make a man sexually stimulated? Some of these things include: • Talking dirty • A woman's movement • Slight touch • Hair Most people just assume this is not true that the man actually wants it. If you are one of those people, come here, sit down and listen to me. You are wrong. You have been living in your own world and not the one that involves everyone. A man's erection is not subject to him all the time. It is like Daenerys of Game of Throne's Dragons- they are not subject to her all the time. 3. Fear and Intimidation: Yes, you read that right. Fear has such an effect on some people. Some people will say how is that even possible. According to Tom Bun, LCSW, who has dedicated his life to studying phobias, arousal is an automatic response to a fearful experience and it is as a result of a release of the stress hormones. Boners are supposed to be unavailable in such situation. If you've ever read the case of different men that were raped like a recent case posted on the website, what made their erections standstill despite the situations they were involved in. Some people will claim that indicated interest. According to research done in 1983 and 1986 done by Barlow in his book Anxiety Increases Sexual Arousal, there were suggestions that anxiety and threat stimuli can actually increase erections as well as cause sexual arousal. The truth is this, sister. Before you start accusing him, note that erection is a reflexive action that happens the same way a small girl blushes automatically when they see their crushes. 4. Pee-boner: Desire to 'Pee' is a natural phenomenon. Something that sees women dancing when they need it. It happens all the time. You might have to erase the notion that the guy wants to sleep with you. It's true. You're beautiful and that's why you have to wear bum shorts to show off your flawless thigh, is that not right? But stop assuming the world revolves around, it might be that all he needs is a toilet to offload. Who knows, he might come back to look at you but for now, get out of the way and let the good guy use the toilet. 5. Morning- Boner: This one is one stupid boner you should always expect in every man. If you encounter any man at this time, he is also busy trying to calm the idiot down and telling it to obey its master. 6. The Ghost Boner: Also, there are some erections that just pop on and off for any of the above reason. They just signify the idea popping into the head but these ones, even when the guy deliberates on the feelings, they just go down immediately. It is such you might have seen on TV with some actors. They are professionals but they have feelings too. Yet, they can control it. The difference between this and the one caused by sexual stimulations, they die easily. 7.the I-Don't-Know boner: Another cause of erection is 'no cause'. It is such that you don't even know the reason, you just see the little man strengthening itself. Most men will now begin to look around hoping their erection wasn't caused by a woman. In case they find one, they easily assume this is the cause of their erection. Whereas, their erections are not arousal. But society has made them believe it. Stop reading. You're one of those that have caused it too. How? What was your reaction when you first saw the pictures of the boner up there? No… No… You understand now that we have made men live a life we will never wish for a woman: a stereotypical lifestyle.. 8. Cold: Finally, cold might be a big cause of erections. It's simple. No hard feeling. Even though it is hard, there is mainly no much feeling attached to it. So, before you accuse that guy of being aroused by you, consider that any of the above is happening. So, guys, when next you have a boner, it might be caused by any of the above. Are there any other reasons you can think of? Post them in the comment box below. http://menvocate.com/2019/02/04/9-crazy-causes-of-erections-in-men/
