Twaci:
And that's why they are called family. They will be terribly disappointed in her but can not hate her forever. At least they will put an end to the molestation.

Twaci:
Its still not late.

fairlyisabel:
does it seem like I was joking?

The invitation to the summit slated for May 8 and 9 in the German capital was delivered to Buhari
by the German Ambassador to Nigeria, Michael
Zenner, at the Defence House, Abuja, on Tuesday.

Twaci:
Talk to an older family member about it.

SERAP also said that it “considers the use of
speech by the Zulu King to promote hatred and/or incite violence against non-nationals such as
Nigerians, particularly in the media as a clear violation of the provisions of the Rome Statute of International Criminal Court.

What I want Nyesome Wike to do is to institute thorough probe of Amaechi's administration. He should issue White Paper and leave the rest to Rivers People.

MduZA:
yeah,in SA we call spade a spade...he got a big round of applause for saying that...if it was your president who made similar utterances to Nigerians,you would be all crucifying him...

The PDP raised the alarm of the ongoing illegal
sale of Government properties to close friends,
political allies and family members of the outgoing Governor of Rivers State.

Precious Nwaigwe, the 15-year-old schoolgirl, who was kidnapped in the Ajah area of Lagos State about a year ago, has said she was made to work for $6,000 the Libyan love-vendor paid to buy her.

She added that after paying the money, she was again used as collateral for a 500 Libyan dinars (N50,000) loan.

She also stated that her abductors conducted pregnancy tests on her three different times, which were negative.

The schoolgirl, who was released on Friday, spoke to PUNCH Metro on Monday in Ikeja, Lagos.

She said she saw more than 1,000 Nigerian girls, who were also forced to work for the money paid by the pimps to the human traffickers.

Our correspondent had reported how the victim was kidnapped in May, 2014 while returning to her school, Ikenne Community College, Ikenne, Ogun State.

Her parents were said to have been contacted by the kidnappers in the Niger Republic, about two months after, demanding $100,000 (N19.9m) as a ransom.

Policemen from the State Criminal Investigation Department, Yaba, and the Special Anti-Robbery Squad went to different parts of the country to arrest suspects.

A principal suspect and cousin of the victim, Kelvin Okito, was said to have eventually made a call to his accomplices in Libya, asking them to free the victim.

She returned to Lagos on Friday.

Precious said she would never forgive her cousin for betraying her trust.

She said she was actually abducted in Ode Remo, Ogun State after she stumbled on some cultists en route to her school in Ikenne.

She said, “When I left Sangotedo Park in Ajah for school, I was the only one in the vehicle, so the driver dropped me off at Ibeju Lekki.

“I got another vehicle from there, which took me to Ode Remo around 9pm. I could not find a cab that would take me to Ikenne where my school is. I did not know they were having a festival that day and people had been asked to stay indoors.

“I trekked for about two hours until I stumbled on some people who were talking. I discovered they were cultists and they accused me of eavesdropping. They added that I knew their secrets. The ladies among them descended on me.

“After the ladies were done beating me, they asked the men in the group to take turns to rape me.”

She said she faintly heard a man in the group protesting the decision.

She said the man, who she later identified as Seun, took her to Ojota in Lagos.

She said Seun took care of her for two weeks, while she recuperated from her injuries.

Precious added, “One day, he said he wanted to help me to get eyedrop because my eyes were swollen. I begged him to allow me to follow him, at least to see the sun.

“He obliged me and while we were going, my slippers cut and I went back into the house to pick another one. I was on my way when I saw Kelvin (Okito) my maternal cousin.”

The Ohaozara, Ebonyi State indigene, said she narrated her ordeal to Okito, thinking that he would rescue her.

PUNCH Metro learnt that Okito, however, took her to the Alaba area of Lagos and connived with his friend, John, to sell the 15-year-old to John’s elder brother, identified as Nzube Chukwu.

Chukwu was said to be based in Libya.

She explained that Okito deceived her that he had discussed with her mother to take her to Libya where she would continue her education.

She said, “He said he had called my mum and told her he was taking me on a journey to Libya. I pleaded with him to allow me talk to her, but he said my mum was happy that I was going to Libya, where I would continue my education.”

She said together with some other migrants, they spent four days on the road before reaching Agadez in the Niger Republic.

She said at that point, her co-travellers told her that it was a journey of life and death.

She said, “We spent four days on our journey to Agadez in the Niger Republic. The other people with me said it was a journey of life and death. I managed to get a phone, called my mum and asked her for money so I could return to Nigeria.

“They discovered the phone that I used to call my mum and they seized it. I was made to stay indoors in Agadez for three weeks.”

She said they later started the journey to Libya and spent seven days in the desert, adding that some people died on the way.

“We got to Bra in Libya seven days after. I met the wife of the man (Chukwu) and she asked me if I had been told what I was there for. I said, ‘Yes, to continue my school.’

“I was taken to a place where there were so many girls wearing only pants and bras. I told them to wear their clothes. But they laughed at me and said, ‘this one is a JJC (naive)’,” she added.

Precious said the woman told her she had bought her and she must work to pay back the money.

PUNCH Metro learnt that the woman told her she would pay $6,000, including transport, accommodation and feeding costs.

She said when she did not cooperate, she was beaten up.

“Every night, they would torture me with cigarette stubs. They locked me up in a room and beat me up,” she added.

Our correspondent learnt that the practice in the area was that every day’s job was documented in a notebook.

At the end of the month, the total money made by each of the girls would be tabulated and divided into two.

The money would then be shared ─ one part for accommodation and feeding, and the other for transport cost incurred while travelling down to Libya.

Precious said she had pleaded with a man that had indicated interest to sleep with her on a night, to allow her make a call with his phone.

She said she called Okito and told him she was suffering, begging him to talk to the woman to allow her go.

Okito was said to have assured the 15-year-old that he would do something.

She said, “But I paid the money back on my own. The man (Chukwu), who sold me to the woman, then came back and started making trouble again.”

It was learnt that Chukwu later used the victim to borrow 500 dinars (about N50,000).

She said she was relocated to another part of the town, Baladia.

Precious said she was accused of sleeping with Chukwu and was subjected to three pregnancy tests, which were negative.

While working to raise the 500 dinars, she said she met a Nigerian named Soni (Sunday).

The two were said to have become friends.

PUNCH Metro was told that policemen at the SCID and SARS, in the course of investigations, arrested John and Okito in Lagos.

John’s brother, Chukwu, was said to have threatened Precious that she would not be allowed to return to Nigeria until the police in Nigeria released John.

However, Soni helped the victim to pay the money and insisted that the victim was no longer in captivity and Chukwu could not decide her fate.

PUNCH Metro learnt that Soni, who worked as a tiles contractor in Libya, arranged Precious’ transport to Lagos.

She told our correspondent that while preparing to return home, the love-vendor in Libya urged her to recruit girls from Lagos.

She said, “She told me that now that I have seen how she worked and made her money, she would want me to join the business.

“There were more than 1,000 Nigerian girls who had been recruited to work in Libya.

“I was lucky to have survived and returned home safely.”

She said when she arrived in Lagos, she contacted a relative in the Okota area of the state, who took her to her parents.

“I can never forgive my cousin who did this to me.

“I trusted him and he decided to sell me for money,” she said.

Our correspondent learnt that the victim would not return to her school in Ikenne.

Her father, Okoro, said he was happy that his daughter returned home alive.

He said, “There were four people involved in this sad tale and they were my town’s people.

“I spent more than N3m to get my daughter back. I was close to selling my house.”

Her mother, Blessing, commended police, The PUNCH and other Nigerians for their support.

The Police Public Relations Officer, Kenneth Nwosu, said the suspects would soon be taken to court.

MzansiBeat:
Seeing you are so obsessed with SA so much, ask your people to stop stealing oil money and build your country. Do you think if you get obsessed with SA BokoHaram will just disappear, think again. The issue with Israel has got nothing to do with attack on foreigners. You selective reading is disgusting

14:
MY MAN, if you got some much to loose, you accept guilt. Being tough towards SA companies send wrong message to potential investors, they all run away.
There is so much at stake, we can all make noise on the web, but people in authority know better

Confrontation is not always the best route for resolving issues.

PORT HARCOURT— THE Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Rivers State has dragged the state governor, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi and others before a Federal High Court sitting in Port Harcourt, praying the court to declare as unconstitutional, the recently constituted Commission of Inquiry into politically motivated killings in the state.
The party is also asking the court to declare that by virtue of the provisions of section 214 of the 1999 constitution, as amended, and section 4 of the Police Act, the power to investigate allegations of crime, including inquiring into politically motivated killings in Rivers State, is vested in the Police
Respondents in the suit are the Chairman of the commission, Professor Chidi Odinkalu, Governor Amaechi, the state Attorney General, the Inspector General of Police, the Commissioner of Police in the state and members of the panel.
The party is further asking the court to restrain the commission or its members from investigating any alleged politically motivated killings, arguing that it was the responsibility of the Police to do so.
Legal Adviser to the party, Mr Benjamin Eke, in the suit, is further contending that Prof. Odinkalu was not fit to serve as chairman of the panel because he already had foreknowledge of the subject matter of the purported inquiry having reportedly heard allegations and counter allegations of the various parties in the state relating to political violence and killings in his capacity as Chairman of the National Human Rights Commission.
“He cannot come to the task of presiding as Chairman of the Commission of Inquiry in this case with neutrality and impartiality necessary as an arbiter,” he argued.
According to Eke, Sir Samuel Egbe, a member of the panel, is not fit to be a member of the commission because he was allegedly appointed Permanent Secretary in the state civil service by Governor Amaechi.
It will be recalled that the panel constituted by Governor Amaechi to look into politically related killings in the state is expected to commence sitting next week.

Confusion and sadness reigned in Owa Alero, Ika North-east local government area of Delta State, last Thursday, when the family of Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Oseni discovered the corpses of two of their children, David Oseni, 6, and Shedrack,4, inside their parents’ deep-freezer, purportedly used for their ‘iced block’ business.

According to reports, the children were found in ‘perfect’, frozen condition, as it was clear that they had been there for some time. All efforts to revive them proved abortive, as they were confirmed dead from hypothermia.

The Osenis, natives of Etsako, Edo State, have been living in Owa Alero, the ancestral homeof the mother.

Neighbours revealed that the parents had locked the children indoors and went to conduct their daily businesses after they retuned from their holiday classes, only to discover the tragedy upon their return.

The father, Oseni, who spoke to this writer, said he had taken the generator for repairs and, upon returning, powered it on to confirm its state, before loading it for the next day’s business.

“After 25 minutes, I lifted the top to check if the freezer was working optimally, only to behold the lifeless bodies of David and Shedrack in the freezer. I raised the alarm, calling the public to the scene.”The children were immediately rushed to a private hospital where they were both confirmed dead by the doctor on duty. The police at the Divisional Office, Owa Oyibu, were contacted and investigations are on to unravel the mystery behind the tragedy,” Oseni said.

When contacted for comments, the Superintendent in charge of the Police Divisional Headquarters Owa Oyibu, SP Lawrence Ogoregbulem, said the Police have concluded their investigations, adding that “because of the parents’ uncooperative stance”, the matter had been transferred to the state headquarters for further investigations.

When contacted, sources within the station told this reporter that “the family of the victims have written to withdraw further investigations into the matter, saying that they don’t want [police]cases”.

Chiaka:
Believe it or not that's the way this politics went!

fairlyisabel:
sweet heart you are absolutely wrong with this. Majority of women cheat because their husbands are cheating and they are not ready to quit their marriages. Those women that do not give much material things to their bfs or request much are only into the relationship to get fuccked not minding if their bfs are faithful to them or not. I can boldly tell you that when most women starts cheating on their husbands they care less about the next side chic their husbands will wack.


Cheating atimes helps a cheated or abused woman to forget her worries. It does magic for women almost the same way it does for men apart from the truth that God hates it. Cheating sometimes heals a broken hearted woman. Woo betide that husband if the side guy has powerful affection for the woman cos that's actually where quiting the game becomes difficult.

So sweet heart do not use your case study to judge because these days many women marry knowing fully well that they will be cheated on so they care less on that aspect but frown at being beaten. They hate being assaulted mainly.

Ilekeh, come and see your sister oh.



You sabi hide oh!!!

He said,“If I were the President-elect, I will not give them anything because they are not people to be trusted. They lack credibility, they are people who are destroying the country, and they did not work for the party so why are they joining the party now.”

Following the withdrawal of suits challenging the eligibility of the President-elect, retired General Muhammadu Buhari, to contest the March 28, presidential election, one of the three plaintiffs, Donald Daunemigha, said his matter was still in court.
Daunemigha who spoke to journalists at the weekend in Abuja said the news being reported that all plaintiffs had withdrawn their suits challenging Buhari’s eligibility was not true.
“It is not true as reported by some sections of the media that I also withdrew my suit along with the two other plaintiffs who also challenged Gen. Buhari’s eligibility,” he said.
According to him: “The suit was filed against Buhari because he failed to submit his certificate of academic qualifications to the Independent National Electoral Commission, (INEC) but instead swore an affidavit which he claimed that all his academic certificate were with the secretary of the Army board, a claim which was later denied by the army.”
He said the case came up for hearing on April 23, at the Federal High Court, Abuja Division but was later adjourned to June 15, , for hearing following the absence of the trial judge, Justice Adeniyi Ademola.
