CrimeWe Sleep With Men, ‘chair Lady' Collects The Money; by kelvee(op): 7:03am On May 23, 2016
CALABAR— FOUR Teenage girls, who were tricked into prostitution in a notorious Calabar brothel, Vegas Flex, weekend recounted how they sleep with more than 20 men daily and how their ‘Madam’ collects the money. The girls, Felicia Nzuworgar, 17; Patience Williams, 18; Angela Benjamin, 17 and Charity Nkwogor all from Okun Local Government Area of Benue state said Abigail Aliyu whom they call “Chair Lady” took them from their homes in Benue State in January this year on the pretext that she was taking them to Lagos to work as sales girls in her drinking spot, but ended up as sex workers in the brothel located at 26 Bedwell Street, Calabar. One of the girls, Felicia, told Vanguard, “the woman told me that she has a beer parlour in Lagos and wanted me to work as sales girl there, but when we got here she gave me boxer shorts to wear and when I asked her where the drinking parlour is for me to start working, she said I should hustle like other girls by sleeping with men and when I refused she beat me up.” The girls, with different cane marks on their bodies, said the lady beat them to submission, adding that when they started it was very painful as they were not used to sleeping with such large number of men daily. Patience recounting her experience said “Every day we sleep with over twenty men for N500.00 each and because we are young, men do line up to have us. At about 12 midnight, ‘Chair Lady’ will come in and collect the money, because she counts the condoms she gives to us, if you do not give her all the money she will beat you mercilessly
The girls said Abigail and the men working for her normally, searched their room and their bodies at the close of each day to ensure they had not hidden any money and beaten if any money was found on them. They said Abigail on arrival in Calabar collected their phones and did not allow any of them to step outside the brothel for fear that they might run away. They said when Angela and Charity attempted to escape that they were beaten to a state of unconsciousness by the woman and some of her male friends. Angela said “ When I tried running away, she brought a soldier and a policeman, who are her boyfriends, and they beat me up and poured tear gas in my eyes. I later fell sick because of that beating for many days”. On why they followed the woman without letting their parents know, they said once the woman touched them on the shoulders they became confused and went with her. “ I was walking in our market in Okun Local Government Area when she greeted me and touched me on the shoulder and that was how I followed her and we entered vehicle to Enugu to the house of a juju man, who prepared a medicine (concoction) for us to drink which she said was to protect us from sickness, but when we got to Calabar, she said if we run away the medicine the man gave us will make our private part to rot,” Charity narrated. But the Ebonyi State born, “Chair Lady” , Abigail Aliyu , said her arrest by operatives of the Anti Human Trafficking operatives of the Cross River State Police Command was due to jealousy, adding that she was not the one that brought the girls to Calabar. Mr John Eluu, Cross River State Police Public Relations Officer, said the woman will soon be charged to court after investigation and warned youths to be cautious and not go with anyone who promises them jobs in Lagos or any other town without any proof.

Christianity EtcPastor Gives Out 32 Cars, Millions Of Naira To Celebrate Birthday by kelvee(op): 9:01pm On May 22, 2016
Abuja - The Senior Pastor of Champions Royal
Assembly, Kubwa, Abuja, Joshua Iginla on Sunday, gave
out 32 cars out of which were 16 SUVs to celebrate his
birthday.
Iginla also gave out money running into several millions
of naira to the aged, widows, orphanages and
scholarships to orphans from nursery school to
university.
Six Nollywood actors and actresses got Hummer jeep 3
series, Mercedes G-Wagon and Mercedes CLS 550. They
include Jide Kosoko, Francis Duru, Alex Usifo, Ngozi
Osondu, Thelma Nwosu and Sunday Omobolanle,
popularly known as Babaluwe.
Artisans got generators and cash gifts while the widows
got deep freezers, rice and cash gifts ranging from
N150,000 to N1.5 million.
Treasure Orphanage Foundation, Nyanya, Divine
Wound Orphanage, Kubwa and Christ Home
Foundation, Kuje, got N1.5 million each and rice while
some orphans in the homes were awarded
scholarships from nursery to university.
Iginla said he had 782 widows and orphans he caters
for.
``It doesn't matter to me if I trek home as I have given
even the car that I personally drive.
``I can only drive one car and live in one house at a
time. This understanding is what has taught me that
when I die, others will inherit my assets.
``The beauty of life is not in its duration but in its
donation. I have not seen some of the beneficiaries
before in my life or spoken to them.
``I'm seeing many of them for the first time today. I
am seeing Jide Kosoko for the first time", he said.
Iginla also said he gave cars to the Nollywood actors
because many of them were poor but people
erroneously think they were rich.
According to him, the fruit of the Nollywood artistes
were being reaped by pirates and challenged
government to do something to arrest it.
``The Nollywood actors and actresses are our
ambassadors; they have projected the image of this
country positively", he said.
Kosoko, who confirmed he was meeting Iginla for the
first time, commended him for his philanthropy.
Iginla had, in 2015, given 18 cars and millions of naira as
birthday gifts to people to celebrate his birthday. (NAN)

FamilyUNBELIEVABLE!! Man Threatens To Divorce Wife For THIS Reason?? by kelvee(op): 10:27am On May 18, 2016
Man threatens to divorce wife for addiction to Telemundo, Zeeworld Abuja - A Pediatrician based in Abuja, Mr Chibuzor Eze has threatened to divorce his wife of so many years for her addiction to popular foreign soap operas, Telemundo and Zeeworld. ``I will divorce my wife if she doesn’t stop with this Zeeworld and Telemundo obsession,” Eze said on Thursday in Abuja. Eze, who works with one of the government hospitals in Abuja, said he had informed his wife, Dorothy a week ago that her obsession to the popular soaps was interfering with her marital life. ``I told her last week that I was fed up with how her obsession with these channels was making her to neglect her duty as a wife and mother. ``Yet she keeps watching these shows when she’s supposed to be partaking in more important things like taking care of the children and cooking reasonable food for us,” Eze said. The pediatrician said he had to buy food from restaurants four times last week, as his wife had either forgotten to prepare food for the family or burnt the food she was preparing because she was watching Zeeworld and Telemundo. ``Tell me, is this not enough to sue for divorce. ``As a doctor, I have a very hectic job and should come home to a tasty hot meal. ``I have purchased foods from restaurants four times in the last week, because I came home to an empty pot or burnt food and this is unacceptable.’’ he said. According to him, this is after I talked and complained to her about the effect Zee world and Telemundo are having on her. ``On Tuesday, she forgot to pick our 10-year-old daughter from school because she was watching her shows. ``If these careless acts continue, I will be forced to leave her, because I won’t appreciate coming home to a burnt down house one day.

BusinessAt ₦145/L Price, Nigerians Buy One Of The Cheapest Petrol In The World by kelvee(op): 11:33pm On May 16, 2016
At ₦145/L price, Nigerians buy one of the cheapest Petrol in the world - Daramola Babalola On the 12th of May, 2016 Nigerians woke up to the detestable reality that they will now have to pay ₦145 per litre for Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), otherwise called petrol representing over 40% increase from the previous pump price, ₦86.50 While some are mobilizing for '#occupyNigeria season 2', labour unions in the country are currently planning to commence an indefinite nationwide strike action that will 'shutdown the economy' on Wednesday in a bid to protest the increase in fuel price. Following the harsh economic realities Nigeria is currently facing, many Nigerians have labelled the Federal Government as being insensitive to the plight of its citizen by making fuel too expensive for consumption. But really, how expensive is fuel in Nigeria, compared to other countries? and is the Nigerian government really insensitive? We are about to find out. At ₦145/Litre, is fuel too expensive in Nigeria? As surprising as it may seem, Nigeria is ranked 12th as per cheapest price of petrol in 173 countries even with the new ₦145 per litre price according to Globalpetrolprices.com In Nigeria, fuel now costs ₦145/L and with the current exchange rate that is fluctuating between ₦320-₦360 to a dollar, it means we are paying about $0.44/L It may however interest you to know that in United States, fuel is sold at the pump price of $0.65/L ( ₦214/L), In South Africa $0.84/L (₦277), In Russia $0.55/L (₦181/L), $0.91/L (₦300/L) in Canada, $0.92 (₦303/L) in Ghana, and it costs $0.93 (₦306/L) in China. Some will argue that the countries above are not petroleum exporting countries (OPEC) like Nigeria, but what about OPEC member countries like Angola, where PMS is sold at $1/L (about ₦330), In Iraq at $0.64/L (₦211), In Venezuela pump price is $0.60/L (₦198/L) with President Nicolas Maduro calling the approximately ₦198/L pump price 'one of the cheapest in the world'. Even in the oil rich, United Arab Emirates (UAE) PMS is sold at $0.45/L which is about (₦148/L) which is more expensive than the price in Nigeria. According to Globalpetrolprices.com In Hong Kong, the pump price is set at $1.85/L (about ₦610/L) making the country the most expensive seller of gasoline in the world. With the facts and figures above, at ₦145/L fuel is not expensive, it's actually one of the cheapest in the world, but because of the poor living conditions of millions of Nigerians, it appears expensive and thus, many Nigerians struggle to afford it. That is why the government needs to provide welfare programs, kill that disease called corruption, invest in electricity, education, fix refineries, provide jobs and increase minimum wage to reduce poverty in the country, because the current ₦18,000 minimum wage is too small compared to how much we buy petrol.

EventsFACEBOOK Launches Free Internet Browsing In Naija! by kelvee(op): 1:31pm On May 12, 2016
FFacebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has announced the launch of Free Basics service, a platform that will provide access to mobile websites and services to internet users for free. The service has will be provided by Airtel Nigeria which will give millions free access to Facebook even when you have no data. While making the announcement to the world, Zuckerberg part statement read:

“Today we’re partnering with Airtel Africa to launch Internet.org Free Basics in Nigeria. There’s a lot of innovation across Africa right now, and Nigeria in particular is home to a lot of talented developers. In 2009, Olalekan Elude, Ayodeji Adewunmi and Opeyemi Awoyemi started a site called Jobberman in their dorm to help connect people looking for work with companies looking to hire. Now Jobberman is one of the top 100 websites in Nigeria, and it gets 5,000 applications every day.

Free Basics offers Nigerians, including 90 million people who are currently offline, the opportunity to access news, health information and services like Jobberman that were built by Nigerians and other developers across West Africa — all without having to pay for data.
Free Basics is now live in more than 40 countries, and half of those are in Africa. Over the next few months, we’ll be doing even more to connect developers with people who can use their apps — and partner with local companies to bring internet to people across Africa who don’t have access to mobile networks.

In the meantime, I’m excited to see what Nigerians build next!

Foreign AffairsSenior Egypt Official Blames Tom And Jerry For ISIS by kelvee(op): 10:54am On May 05, 2016
The head of Egypt’s Information Service has blamed Tom and Jerry for the rise of ISIS – claiming the characters encourage extremism and teach children that you can blow people up.

Ambassador Salah Abdel Sadek said the cartoon as well as video games and ‘violent’ movies helped to spark violence and extremism across the Arab world.

He told an audience at Cairo University that Tom and Jerry contributed to the notion that violence was a ‘natural’ part of life.
According to Egyptian Streets, he said:

‘[The cartoon] portrays the violence in a funny manner and sends the message that, yes, I can hit him…and I can blow him up with explosives. It becomes set in [the viewers’] mind that this is natural.’

He added that it has become common place for young men to spend hours playing violent video games and that the gamer will be ‘happy and content’.

Speaking to reporters, Iorzenda said: “I went to consult the oracle over my impotence and I was told that my mother used my manhood for witchcraft and rendered me impotent. She did not want me to be a man. “So my friend advised me to kill her so as to use her blood to acquire spiritual powers that will help me become rich and also do many other things. That was why I shot her.

FamilyNigeria’s Self-styled Open Marriages! by kelvee(op):
A man’s wife is his possession. She is part of his
investment. He believes that by the virtue of anointing her
as his wife, he has elevated her status amongst her peers
and accorded her a respectable position in society.

No
matter how he treats her, it is around her that he builds
his empire and nurtures his desires and hopes for the
future. The fruits of his labour are expended on his wife
and the fruits of their loins, with the belief that they will
be the joys of his old age. No matter the circumstances or
situation of their relationship, whether good or bad, this
oftentimes does not erode her value or undermine her
position in his home and life. For as long as she remains
the chosen one, she is expected to be out of reach for
other men.

Being a Mrs is no mean tag. An exalted position such as
wife, must also come with its demands and
responsibilities and one of them, if not top on the list, is
fidelity: the resolve to preserve one’s self and body to the
service of another. Though this is supposed to be
mutually binding on the two, man and wife, African
culture, tradition and the assumed and accepted
polygamous nature of the male specie, make this more
binding on the woman, than the man. In fact, the Holy
books seem to affirm this position. The Bible admonishes
women to submit to their husbands while the Qur’an
counsels that they guard their husbands’ secrets. Even
moral and societal values, and health considerations
compel it upon the woman, that she stays faithful to her
husband.

Women found wanting in this regard, no matter their
social status and rating, usually fall from grace to grass.
Men consider it a slight on their manhood and a short
change on their investment. Most find it difficult to
forgive such women and the consequences are
sometimes grievous or even deadly.

However, this position now appears to have changed over
time. It is now almost a daily occurrence to hear chilling
confessions of various shades of infidelity from and about
married women.
Many of these stories leave one’s mouth
gaping and mind confused. There is the tale of a woman
with five children in Oke Ira, Ogba, Lagos State, Nigeria
who ended up confessing that only two of them belong to
her husband. One being for the husband’s younger
brother and two for her lovers. The cat was let out of the
bag when the lover insisted on taking custody of his two
children. Refusing all pleas from the woman, he went
straight to her husband and divulged the sordid details.

A similar scenario played out in Meiran area of Alagbado,
on the borders of Lagos and Ogun states. Olusho,
spiritual leader of a white garment church, in one single
blow lost his wife and two children to one of his rich
patrons. His wife on being caught in her web of lies,
decided there was no point denying herself and two
children of the luxury their biological father could provide
for them any longer. So, rather than plead with Olusho to
cover her misdeed and shame, she simply organised a
haulage vehicle and with the support of her rich lover,
moved out same day despite the intervention of
neighbours and elders around. Olusho’s spiritual ministry
came to an abrupt end.

In another case, a young man narrowly escaped being
convicted of child trafficking and perjury by the American
immigration authorities. On the graduation of his first
child from high school in the UK, he figured that he could
work out a cheaper deal with his college expenses since
he is an American citizen and the boy also holds an
American Passport. So, he filed all the necessary papers.
Everything was perfect until a DNA test to prove paternity
revealed he was not the biological father of the boy. To
save his neck, he was forced to reveal that his marriage to
the boy’s mother ended when he discovered she was
carrying a pregnancy that was not his. Without a sense of
remorse, she confessed that the pregnancy was for her
boss at the office and moved out of her matrimonial
home, relocating to London.

A few years after, the first of
the other three children was discovered not to belong to
her husband as well. The teenage boy also turned out to
be the biological child of the same man, her boss who
fathered the last child.
However, more intriguing in this drama of infidelity are
the men who are privy to the shenanigans of their wives
and turn a blind eye to them. Every time, I come across
such stories, I marvel at the level of depravation and
immorality that must have gone into such an alliance.
Several reasons have been postulated for such
developments which to my understanding bothers
majorly on finance and material gains and self
centeredness.

Few have to do with saving public image. For, what is left
to be salvaged in the public image of a man whose wife’s
sexual escapades with other men is no secret? Is he
protecting his wife or his children, or simply pushing off
the day of his eventual spiritual and physical death?
Stories of men who connive with their wives to conceive
children by other men and claim ownership of such
children also beat my imagination. For me, this is the
height of self deceit and should the cookie crumble, the
man still remains the ultimate loser. The children, no
matter their level of disappointment, will still know their
mother as such.

One of such stories that springs up in my mind is that of a
man who after becoming a “born again” Christian decided
to seek restitution. (Whatever that meant to him!) He
allegedly woke up one day and summoned his wife of over
30 years of marriage and their three children to a meeting
where he spilled the beans. The three children, the last, an
undergraduate and another, already married, were not
his.
They were arranged by his wife for him to cover his
shame and inability to father a child, many years ago. Now
that he had been set free of all burdens and shame by his
heavenly father, he no longer felt a sense of compulsion
to keep such a thing secret anymore and so, wanted to set
the records straight with the truth. His wife should tell
him and the children who fathered them.
Thereafter, he would seek forgiveness and permission
from the man to continue to play his fatherly role on the
children. Naturally, the children took sides with their
mother and denounced their father’s actions, even the
church was not on his side, for his queer manner of
restitution. Such an arrangement to my understanding is
a no brainer on the part of such a man, and a win-win
situation for the woman who got an unlimited access to
jump into bed with any man of her choice, conceive
pregnancies outside of the matrimony and openly raise
them with another man’s sweat.

Even then, emerging trends point to the fact that Nigeria
is gradually catching up with the West in what is termed
as open marriage. An open marriage is a union where the
partners are permitted to have sexual relationships with
other partners.

The terms of what is permissible for the two is often spelt
out and the partners adhere to these rules. The plus side
of this arrangement is that the partners get to enjoy the
benefits of two worlds. First is the respect and social
status that marriage provides and the other is the
freedom to explore their sexuality without actually
rocking the boat. While this may not actually be a
common or detailed trend in Nigeria, what is true and
now gaining ground is a practice where the husbands
pretend not to know about their wives extra-marital
affairs but bask in the benefit that such relationships
offer.

A distraught married woman whose husband was deeply
and openly involved with another married woman sought
audience with the woman’s husband with the hope of
resolving what had now become an embarrassing
situation for her. The man patiently heard her out but his
response almost knocked her off her feet. He trusts his
wife completely and has no problems with her
relationship with a man he considers a great mentor in
their lives, he insisted. If she has problems with her
husband, she should go and address it and not drag him
into her war.

All her evidences and plea to help save her marriage were
discarded by the woman’s husband. Many men who have
identified where their breads are being buttered, courtesy
of their wives generosity have learnt to look the other
way, if only to sustain the lifestyle they have or to remain
in their imaginary social status. It is no longer an
abomination to know that your wife is unfaithful. If the
benefits or proceeds from the relationship are
worthwhile enough, knowing the man can only be icing on
the cake as the guy can also get something on the side for
himself if he plays his cards well.

Another category of open marriage in the Nigeria of our
time is one where the wife is not into the affair for
material or monetary gains, but for personal emotional
fulfilment. These couples are usually rich or powerful
members of the society and have an image to protect.
Many reasons may be attributed to this, such as the
sexual inadequacies of the man which tend to result in
extra-marital affair(s) by the woman. In a situation where
the wife is discreet enough about it, and the family name,
business and connections are not affected in any way,
some of these men willingly look the other way these
days.

More so when the men are no saints themselves. Once, in
a conversation with a male colleague who is in his second
marriage, he informed me that he could never divorce his
wife on the basis of infidelity since he is guilty of same.
According to him, should he walk in on her and her lover,
he would excuse himself and walk away, focusing more
on her good sides. He insists this was a mistake he made
with his first marriage and has vowed not to allow such a
little thing ruin his happy home ever again, now that he is
wiser. (Hmmm! Aren’t some of us just lucky? ) Do have a
wonderful weekend!
