Kolababe: According to IrishExaminer, a Nigerian woman who was trafficked into Ireland and forced into prostitution narrated to the court how she was made to was have sex with up to ten men a day for no payment.
She disclosed this in Dublin court on Tuesday, January 17th, during the trial of Joy Imasogie, 40, (pictured below) an alleged trafficker.
The woman told a jury she underwent a "voodoo process" in Nigeria before coming to Ireland, during which she swore she would not report Imasogie.
The woman also alleged that while she was working as a prostitute, Imasogie’s husband, Kingsley, began “taking advantage” of her and having sex with her.
Imasogie of Chapleswood Crescent, Hollystown, Dublin 15, has pleaded not guilty to organising for the woman to enter the country illegally, to compelling or coercing the woman to be a prostitute and to controlling or directing the activities of prostitution for gain on dates between March 2006 and April 2008.
On her second day of evidence at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court the alleged victim said she lived in a flat in Phibsborough where she was visited by up to ten men a day. She said the visits usually came at night or at lunchtime.
She told Kerida Naidoo SC, prosecuting, that Imasogie and another woman made the arrangements and that she would receive a phone call when a man was on the way. She said the prostitution service was advertised on a website run by a woman in England.
Imasogie allegedly told her the price was €150 for half an hour and €250 for an hour. The complainant said the accused told her men might want anal sex as an “additional service” but she refused to do this.
She said that she might receive €2,000 a day from the men. Of that Imasogie would allegedly take half for arranging the men to come and half to pay off a €50,000 “debt” she said the woman owed her for bringing her to Ireland.
The alleged victim said she was left with no money at the end of the day and that she received no allowance. She said she had to demand money from the accused for personal items and that Imasogie would sometimes bring her food.
The woman said Imasogie gave her a false passport to show to gardaí if they called at the door. One day gardaí called but didn’t believe the passport was genuine. The alleged victim said she went upstairs and jumped out the window to escape, breaking her leg in the process. She said she was in a cast for two months and during that time she was told by the accused to “answer the phones and direct people”.
She returned to prostitution after the leg healed, she said. Sometimes the work involved travelling down the country for “overnight” visits. She said the accused or her husband Kingsley would drive her to there.
She alleged that after she had been in Ireland for about a year, Kingsley started to take advantage of her and have sex with her.
The woman said that after some time she thought she had worked off about €40,000 of the €50,000 debt. When she asked Imasogie about this, the accused replied that she had lost the book she used to keep track of this and that she believed the woman had paid off only €15,000 or €20,000.
The alleged victim said in 2008 she left Imasogie and refused to return. She said she didn’t want to be a prostitute anymore and refused to have any further contact with the accused.
The trial continues before Judge Patricia Ryan and a jury. Will keep you updated...
A Facebook user, Mofiinternational User, shared this strange story. A man in Kogi State was found exhuming corpses at the Karaworo / Angwan tiv Muslim cementary. He said he had been instructed to bury some materials at the graves but could not show an angry crowd what he buried. He was almost lynched but for Usman, who interrogated him. The police later arrested the man for further investigations. Here is Usman’s post:
He is by name Isiaka Isah, he was caught in a act of digging one of the grave at the Karaworo / Angwan tiv Muslim cementary today morning by our well trained vigilante men in the community. If not for our quick intervention he could have been mopped to dead by the angry youths, but during my interrogation with the suspect, he said his intention was not to exhume dead body, he further said that he has been having a fearful terrible nightmare in which he do see ghost chasing him, which now led him to consult a native doctor who later instructed him to go and burry some items in a grave so that the ghost will stop chasing him but he was later urge to bring out the oready buried item but he said he is confused, that he couldn’t longer locate were he buried the items. He was since been handed over to the D.P.O A division police station lokoja for further investigation.
thought he was an AFONJA man!
but anyway! the person who instructed him must be an Afonja man!
Lukay99: The biggest of them all, Zimbabwe president Mugabe is he also a Muslim? This is exactly what we've been saying whenever a Christian does something wrong we all blame that individual person(not Christianity ) but whenever a Muslim does something wrong, you all start to blame Islam

Kolababe: Just when we thought we have seen it all...from South African pastors forcing members to eat snakes, spraying insecticide, drink Dettol all in the name of healing, another Man of God has added a new twist.
A video uploaded on the Facebook page of Pastor Zendile Andries November of Victorious Faith Ministries, South Africa, shows the pastor asking one of his female congregants whether she has “pimples” on her vagina. When she said ‘yes’‚ a man removes November’s shoe and the pastor is seen handing it to the woman to place between her thighs. She then suddenly falls to the floor with the shoe between her thighs.
Another female member is then shown saying that she went to the bathroom with the woman and that she is now healed and will finally be able to sleep with her husband. The woman is crying and there are cheers all round as the pastor tells her to rush home - meaning home to her husband as she is healed.

Dont talk to her about any more feelings, send her something very small on her bday and dont attend it, i mean literally dont see her. I repeat stop buying her items and treating her like a queen. She is not!
forget this your relationship talk!
the she ape dey fvck one guy nonstop and the imbel op dey there dey propose
KONJIKILLER: Good day, Nairalanders, I don't know what the females here have to say about this but I'll gladly welcome any criticism.
So there's this girl, Sharon(not her real name), I met her November last year. Ok, she's smoking hot, very attractive and absolutely smart. We got so close and told each other a lot of things, darkest secrets, and stuff she wouldn't even tell her mom. She concluded that we become best friends but deep down, I wanted more than that because I was already falling, I just didn't know what to say. Every time we talked on the phone, it was usually for more than 30minutes that my friends would be wondering if we were dating, even my close pals made fun of me that I was being friendzoned. One night in December, I called her and from the way I was talking to her, a normal girl would catch the cruise that a nigga was flirting although it wasn't obvious. After the call, I texted her that I had something to tell her but then, I just told her I'd say it later. She laughed and told me she knows what's up with me but that she's been waiting for me to spit it out. I asked how she knew, she said by behavior towards her and everything was obvious that I had these feelings for her. She added that I should be patient and not rush it, I was totally relieved, even my buddies said 'she go gree, no worry, the babe like you die'.
Guys, from that day, I've been treating this girl like a queen, buying her stuff, calling her and doing the regular things a boyfriend would do, hoping she'd eventually agree to date me. Her mom even saw the stuff I bought her, she asked her if we were dating and she told her we were talking about it. All these events happened late last year and she still hasn't made a brother happy. The last time we talked about it was on the 30th of December and she specifically told me she had feeling for me but that "she wants to get her emotions right". Sister what does that mean now?
We stepped into the new year, the first week passed, so did the second week, she hasn't said a word about "US". Her birthday is coming up in two weeks and I plan on confronting her day before her birthday to know exactly what she wants with me.
Am I moving too fast? Am I impatient? Some of my friends are saying she might be too shy to say the three letter word, that I should try and make a move by kissing her or something. NAIRALANDERS, what am I missing
all I just have to say is that you are a big mugu!
the sign is there! that ape dont love you and you are just her backup plan.
why will she say yes at first
I always tell you people! fvck those idiots and forget them!
why did you want to wife her
what is your reason for wifing her other than seex?
if you want a child just fvck her without condomm and there you go instead of thinking to marry one ape who doesn't love you!
you guys need to start using your brain!
naija women are not worth marrying!
there are just only good for sexx and nothing much

ObiOmaMu: Wife of murdered US army veteran Chuks Okebata who was killed by alleged assassins in Imo state has shared her own side of the story saying she didn't kill her husband.
This is coming after her sister in law shared heartbreaking videos of her threatening to get her husband jailed this morning that sparked an outrage and made many Nigerians think she has a hand in her husband's death. Read her statement below:
My own side of the story Amanda, I once came to you about my husband and his incessant abuse and cheating. Yes I am the wife of the man who was assassinated, and I am just distraught.
I do not even know where to start but it is only right I tell my own side of the story. I am innocent, God is my witness that I did not kill my husband or the evil that my husband’s family is portraying me to be, yes my sister in-law posted that video to make me look evil but the part she did not tell anybody was that I was calling the police to save me because he always beat me up and I was told to call the police whenever he started and that was exactly what I was doing, from the video you would see that I did not fight him or answered him.
Should I have allowed him to kill me?
We have been married for 13 years since I was 19, it has been beating upon beating, I have gone through surgeries because of beating he gave me. How can I kill my husband, we live together, till the day he left for Nigeria, I packed his things , how could I kill him. Who do I know to order a hit on the father of my children?
I have no interest in his properties as suggested after all we built every thing together. God knows I am innocent. I know who I am married to, he is a show off and he went to Nigeria and was going to club spraying dollars and showing off, revealing his locations . They want to pin my husband’s death on me, my husband was not assassinated.
He was kidnapped, because he is a military man he is always with a gun and when he shot to death one of the kidnappers,they shot him. Why is my family leaving out information about what happened and pinning it on me?
I never threatened him to kill him, I am a working woman with a paying job and have no reason to kill him because of properties . All I just want is peace to mourn and raise my children. You can confirm my story from those people in my home town.
My husband was careless in a country with high rate of crime and was kidnapped, if he had not shot one of the robbers all we would have been talking about is paying ransom not death. Why would I kill the father of my kids, why would I choose his death over a divorce if things were that bad.
I have two boys, who will help me raise them? I am completely innocent of all the allegations. I have endured all this years through his beating and cheating and I did not leave or kill him, why would I do it now? All I ask is that I am left to mourn in peace and the killers found and prosecuted. See pictures of my husband spraying dollars at the club in Owerri.He even live streamed it showing his exact location
Nne biko help me I’m an innocent victim here I love my husband and I’m still in tears I’m mourning him and people are accusing them wrongly.My children are crying daily.
SarahNaija2017: Please donate $20 or more to help alleviate the suffering of our fellow Nigerians in the North that are starving. Yesterday, I read a New York Times article that highlighted an organization that provides services for people affected by the Boko Haram insurgency. The name of the organization is International Rescue Committee and I have provided a link to the article and the rescue agency for you to peruse. I am writing because I love for people who are able to donate to help further the work that rescue organizations are providing to our brethren. We are our brother's keepers and as Nigerians we should look out for each other. We complain about how other people treat us and show disregard for our sufferings because of our skin color but when it is time to put actions behind our words, we have problems showing up. Please do your own part in making the world a better place. Another article that I came across that also discussed the plight of our starving brethren was titled “Why Doctors Without Borders Is Adding Food To Its Medical Bag” by National Public Radio and it was published on January 11, 2017. I would love for you to also read this article so you can better understand what people in the North are suffering.
