massmediang: Please, she didn't stop the killing of twins in Nigeria. She did so in Okoyong, an area in Cross River, where there were still pockets of killings carried out by some. Twin killings had long been banned in Calabar by King Archibong II right from 1856 long before Mary Slessor arrived the shores of Calabar 2 Likes |

I enjoyed it! Loved the task and was laughing as they kept slipping. I loved Toke's aura, maybe Kunle will grow on me. I am bummed that it is only weekends but after watching today's episode, I kinda understand.

alonzoiv: It is not her 'personal' act of kindness...it is that of the initiative -NGO - that she runs. Any project carried out must be documented because I believe that no one runs an NGO with their personal money. What she did is similar to what Fox or its subsidiary (can't remember if it was Fox alone) does in transforming the homes of people that they feel need it during Christmas. Acts like this serve to inspire others to how same or a better path in lending a helping hand. |

nkevick66: Yes, my sister called to tell me...I delayed booking till yesterday, only to get the call this morning about the foolish decision taken by Magu He wants either the President or VP as Guest of Honor...and only those ones can choose the date. If any Buharist, Osibanjoist or anyone high up in the hierarchy is reading this, draw attention to this and let Magu be called to order! This has become a pointless exercise! You have demoralized those recruits or whatever they are being called. It is only in Nigeria that pointless exercises are done and people like Magu have no sense of empathy and carry on with high handedness! I am seething with anger |

You all need to learn and respect the fact that not everyone is family oriented. Stop trying to project your own beliefs and feelings on another person because while backgrounds might be similar, experiences and the lessons you learn from that will not be, which is how we have all come to be different. 11 Likes |

Good to see females starting to collaborate. I wish they had paid more attention to showing off their vocals - because they both have it - than trying pruning like peacocks. It is a basic song, hope to see more collaborations Between female artistes. That of Dija and Tiwa is better though IMO 1 Like |

Celebrities / Re: Tailor Accused Of Giving A Bride’s Dress To Mercy Aigbe Sued by Enoquin(f): 7:50am On Jan 16, 2018 |
The tailor is not being sued yet, this is a letter asking her to settle, the amount for settlement was not stated; both parties will have to come to an agreement on what's suitable. What I don't understand though is trying to join Mercy in this breach of contract, I might not be a Mercy fan but asides from sentiments I do not see why she should be called out. Even if Mercy coerced the designer to give her the dress, as long as the said designer had an agreement to fulfill a contract with another party and failed; it is on her head. Mercy entered into no agreement with the bride and should be allowed to breathe. |

As for her sister, Jennifer? She’s buried under a headstone engraved with a poem written by June. It reads: “We once were two/We two made one/We no more two/Through life be one/Rest in peace.” http://www.datota.ml/2017/11/silent-twins-haunting-case-of-june-and.html?m=1 1 Like

Crime / Re: Silent Twins: The Haunting Case Of June And Jennifer Gibbons by Enoquin(f): 8:21pm On Nov 12, 2017 |
In March of 1993, June and Jennifer Gibbons, age 31, were transferred to Caswell. Upon arrival, Jennifer appeared unresponsive. Doctors rushed her to the hospital where she was pronounced dead. Cause of death? Acute myocarditis, or a sudden and lethal inflammation of the heart. Doctors found no evidence of poison in Jennifer’s system. According to June, Jennifer simply placed her head on her twin sibling’s shoulder. She then took her last breath, and said, “At long last, we’re out.” After Jennifer’s death in 1993, June went on to live a so-called “normal” life. She sat down for a revealing interview with The New Yorker’s Hilton Als, stating all she wanted now was to get married to and have children with a “Rasta” man, like Bob Marley. 1 Like |

At Broadmoor, the doctors found June and Jennifer to be deeply disturbed, even dangerous. The two took turns eating, one indulging one day while the other starved. And though they were split up and housed in cells on opposite ends of the hospital, nurses often found them eerily frozen in the same distinct poses. This went on for 11 years. Until doctors agreed to transfer the twins to Caswell Clinic, a lower-security facility in Bridgend, Wales. Only one of the sisters would survive the relocation. Wallace claimed that during her final visit with the twins at Broadmoor, Jennifer abruptly stated over a cup of tea, “Marjorie, Marjorie, I’m going to have to die.” When Wallace asked why, Jennifer just said, “Because we decided.” Indeed, as Wallace states in The Silent Twins, the Gibbons siblings made a pact at Broadmoor: One of them had to die, so the other could live a normal life. 1 Like |

Such writing was a major creative outlet for June and Jennifer Gibbons. They even penned a few novels, though the books continued themes of mayhem and violence. June’s Pepsi-Cola Addict is about a teen who’s seduced by his schoolteacher then sent away to a reformatory where he fights off the advances of a homosexual guard. Jennifer’s Discomania is a disturbing little tale about the “insane violence” that goes down at a disco. The books failed to make a serious splash in the literary world. So the Gibbons twins found another way to get noticed: criminal mischief. They got their thrills from petty theft, choking each other, and, eventually, burning buildings to the ground. It’s the latter offense that landed them in court. A judge ruled their deviant behavior combined with their severe social disorders were grounds for confinement. He sent them to Broadmoor Hospital, the very same high-security mental facility where legendary British gangster Ronnie Kray lived out the remainder of his life. 1 Like |

At age 14, the twins were separated in an attempt to encourage socialization. They responded by slipping into catatonic states. Doctors and family members reunited the siblings thereafter, and they spent the next few years holed up their room, performing intricate plays for one another and writing extensively in their diaries. It was on the blank page that June and Jennifer revealed the darkness of their bond, exploring the joint need and hatred they felt toward one another. June wrote, “Nobody suffers the way I do, not with a sister; with a husband, yes; with a wife, yes; with a child, yes, but this sister of mine, a dark shadow robbing me of sunlight, is my one and only torment.” Born 10 minutes apart, Jennifer viewed her older sibling as mightier in every way—looks, brains, wits. For her part, June sensed the envy, writing, “She wants us to be equal. There is a murderous gleam in her eye. Dear lord, I am scared of her. She is not normal … someone is driving her insane. It is me.” A chilling excerpt from Jennifer’s diary further illustrates their shared disdain, and possibly sheds light on why the two took to inflicting bodily harm on one another: “We have become fatal enemies in each other’s eyes. We feel the irritating deadly rays come out of our bodies, stinging each other’s skin. I say to myself, can I get rid of my own shadow, impossible or not possible? Without my shadow, would I die? Without my shadow, would I gain life, be free or left to die? Without my shadow, which I identify with a face of misery, deception, murder.” 1 Like |

One of them had to die, so the other could live a normal life. Born in 1963, June and Jennifer were moved by their Barbadian parents to a small town off the coast of Wales called Haverfordwest. Known for its tranquility, the town and the twins had but one thing in common: Quiet. Amazingly, the two had never spoken to anyone else their entire lives. Instead, they communicated with each other in a strange, birdlike language only they could understand. Haverfordwest was a predominantly white town, and the siblings were consistently bullied at school because of their race. Their continued resistance to speak to outsiders only resulted in more exclusion. Eventually, June and Jennifer withdrew from society entirely and turned to literature as an outlet for their pent up aggressions. 1 Like |
