Romance / The Office Called Sodom II by KingOvo(m): 4:16am On May 26, 2017 |
I picked a rather unexpected interest in Nicholas before his first month with the office would be over. I couldn’t explain if it had something to do with how handsome he was or something else. I just observed that despite being some years older than him, I frequently watched him anytime he had a reason to walk into the open hallway from where I could see him. I would watch his tall frame trotter down to the reception and back up. From simple mere admiration, it soon developed into a lusting, I began straining my eyes to pick out the size of his dick by consistently sizing him up using his fly. I only did get lucky once after he had used the restroom and was returning to his office room. His rather long dick made a very significant curve across the front of his trousers and since he was possibly unaware, he walked his way back with the long bulge alarmingly exhibited for all to see. I remember seeing the few guys and ladies in the reception plant their eyes on his fly as he walked across the hall. Nicholas was huge and it became news within hours! While others initially appeared to be only interested in discussing about the dick’s size, I was already gearing up to fucking him! The sheer gladness of being the first to Bleep him within the office, was enough motivation to try! However, my humble desire for him was soon replaced by killing hurt! I was soon told a day after, that the first six ladies who had tried approaching or seducing Nicholas after his dick-size news broke out, were only embarrassed and turned down flatly by him! It got me mad. I couldn’t believe it would happen in our office, an office where everybody was as free and equal and never flaunted their beauty or body. An office anybody could pick up a Bleep whenever they liked and from whoever they liked. It was a standing custom and It was only more disturbing when the information also said that Mrs. Funke who hardly bleeps in the office was equally turned down as well. That was the point when I swore that I was going to Bleep Nicholas whether he wanted it or not! It was either he began fucking everyone just like we have always done or he left the office! I was so bitter that I had to call Mr. Festus our boss to on phone inform him of the matter. He wasn’t very convincing in his response surprisingly and he kept emphasizing on patience. He equally said he suspected Nicholas was either a church dude or had a girlfriend he was trying not to cheat. To that I paid little or no interest. And by the time I had dropped the call I had already made up my mind. I was going to approach Nicholas mildly just like every other person did but was going to teach him a lesson if he ever tried being stupid. After all he was younger than myself and I had a legacy to protect on behalf of the office. Even if it was a legacy of shameless sodomy. It was a Wednesday morning the day I went to his office to see him. As part of the plan, I had to wear a bare-it-all-in-the-back skirt. In front it looked like a skirt but behind, my bare ass was sticking out of the hole created at the rare side of the skirt. Given that I had no panties on, my pussy always comes into view as I walked. I had worn it to the office twice before but hadn’t done so since Nicholas joined us. As soon as I stepped into his office, it was the first thing he stuck his eyes on, as I said hi walking across his desk to the desk of his partner Prince just in front. He replied and equally told me Prince was not around when I asked about the guy. I told him I was going to wait for him but while I did, I tried striking up a conversation with him. I also began playing seduction, allowing him views of my thighs and bare pussy, all in a bid to get him interested in my motive. He was fairly responsive and would cast a glance in-between my legs now and again! He would also look at me in the eyes as though to ascertain if I was really aware of how blatantly spread my thighs were! To this, I will slightly smile while spreading them even further. I was rightly pleased when he had a reason to stand from his desk for that was when I got to see that his dick was responding to my dirty tricks quite well. His unmistakably long dick, was visibly forming a tent on the right leg of his trousers. Despite his efforts to conceal it with the paper-file he had in his hand, I still got to see it all. I was soon creaming my vulva! Incidentally, I got the shock of my life, when Nicholas suddenly asked me to leave as he had work to do. It came like a blow because this was the same dude who was obviously being entertained by my nudity and even had to hide an evident hard-on. Why he would suddenly turn very arrogant confounded me. Thankfully, Prince appeared just about then and after feigning he was the one I actually visited and having a little talk with him, I left their office amid a spell-bound Prince who couldn’t tear away his eyes from my naked swinging ass all the way. However, this was the moment and I was set to deal with Nicholas. I never ever felt he would turn me down and in such an embarrassing manner. With what I had in mind, he was going to be very lucky if he finished work the next day the same way he visited the office, that was my resolve. And my threat, I did accomplish. I was dressed in another micro-mini skirt the following day and had a bust-displaying blouse to match. The push-up bra I wore meant my boobs looked like they would drop out any moment. As I walked to my office that morning, everybody kept whistling and hailing me – speaking about how they wished they could Bleep me right then. Unfortunately, I was too annoyed to respond as I was rather more interested in Nicholas coming to work, as the outfit was totally worn with him in mind. Thankfully, he arrived in no time and briskly walked across the reception into the east corridor for his office. Knowing he was around now meant I was going to keep an eye on him, expecting him to show up again soon. This he did just about an hour after as he walked out of the east corridor and over to the restroom. He barely said a word to the group who had gathered there at the reception to gist, and while I was supposed to be there, it was part of my plan to join them as soon as Nicholas surfaced. “Where do you think you are going to young man?…”, I enquired as I abruptly joined the reception just as Nicholas made it across my gisting co-workers for the east corridor. He turned, smiled and waved his head. But as soon as he tried to resume walking again, I made for his belt – grabbing it, I pulled him back. All to the amazement of the gathered people there. They were probably thinking I wanted to fight him but were rightly stunned when I grabbed his dick which was surprisingly half-erect, by his fly. He screamed and jumped. “You must Bleep one of us today!” I announced without shame! “You cannot be in this office and play saint! You either learn how to Bleep or resign!” The entire reception burst into laughter! Some were already responding affirmatively, stressing how Nicholas had just being unpleasantly different from the rest of us. “I don’t understand…” he said, wincing at the relative pain he was feeling from how I was slightly crushing his balls as I held his entire dick in my hand through his fly. He had his hands on my hand in a bid to damper the pressure I was exerting. “Well, you will soon understand!”, I was pulling down my skirt to expose my panty-less pussy and ass! I instantly noticed his dick grow in my hands! “You claim to be a saint but would get a hard-on once you see a pussy!” My watching colleagues burst into laughter again as they continued to encourage me! Quite soon, my skirt was tipped aside and I stepped out of it! Then I pulled out one of my boobs from my blouse! “Nicholas…you will suck my pussy this morning!” I increased the intensity of my grip, leaving him jumping in pain! “Okay…okay okay okay!!” He screamed, mixing his affirmation with apology! “And not only that, you will also suck that of everybody here!” His eyes widened up, but soon went cold as soon as I pressed his nuts in again! “Yes, I will”, he shouted in pain!

Politics / Re: Biafra: 50 Years After, Nigeria Has Shown It Is The Victor, Igbo The Vanquished by KingOvo(m): 6:08am On May 21, 2017 |
mydavidorf:When I read comments like this, I burst into fits of laughter. I want to address some raised points here. Firstly, the agitation for Biafra is a Nationalistic move, the Igbos have realised the need to have a common voice together as one nation, this isn't a crime at all. What however is a "crime" is non possession of the right to secede in a Federation. That tackled, hitherto, I had always wondered why Ojukwu contested for the president of Nigeria when he wanted out of it, I want you to think about this, hypothetically, let's say Ojukwu became president, don't you think there is possibility that he could have called for a sort of restructuring, or perhaps moved to change Nigeria into a Confedracy, where the right to secede is legal? While these are mere assumptions, it is a possibility. As I have pointed out earlier, the call for Biafra is a Nationalistic call, this however does not mean that all Igbos would be in support of it, hence Ekweremadu et al, even in India, there were those against Gandhi, did that mean that Indians didn't have a right to seek self governance or were not interested in it? The people that are eating from our national cake would not want it shared, and this is the case with people like Ekweremadu, this however does not mean the call for Biafra is not legitimate. 6 Likes 2 Shares |
Politics / Biafra: 50 Years After, Nigeria Has Shown It Is The Victor, Igbo The Vanquished by KingOvo(m): 4:17am On May 21, 2017 |
When then Colonel Odumegwu Ojukwu declared that the Eastern Region had seceded from the rest of the country on May 30, 1967, many had thought mere police action was all that was required to quell the Biafran rebellion. But it took three years for the administration of General Yakubu Gowon to end the civil war on January 16, 1970 when Ojukwu’s then chief of staff, General Phillip Effiong, made a formal surrender statement/declaration at a ceremony in Lagos. At the end of the war, the Gowon regime invented the ‘No victor no vanquished’ slogan to signal that there was no winner or loser in the war.The administration followed up the slogan with the catch-phrase ‘One Nigeria’. But 50 years after Ojukwu declared the hostilities that claimed millions of lives, mostly on the Biafran side, many Igbo people say the conditions that made the civil war inevitable still haunt them today. They allege that they are still marginalised by the Nigerian federation. Consequently, whereas some Igbo are taking the extreme option of asking for separation from Nigeria, many others want a restructuring of the federation to redress the alleged marginalisation. Meanwhile, the fact is that 50 years after the secessionist bid was launched, many of the challenges that ignited Biafra are unresolved remains an issue for many Igbo people. For instance, Mazi Kalu Onuoha Orji, a septuagenarian, who fought on the side of Biafra in the civil war, believes nothing has changed in then situation of the Igbo in the federation and now. ‘What led to the declaration of Biafra 50 years ago is still happening. Look at how we are being treated, not even as a second but third class citizens. Our people are using their blood to develop this country,” Orji told Sunday Vanguard last week. “The Federal Government must show courage and give Ndigbo their deserved sense of belonging; otherwise the agitation for Biafra will not die.” Not an Igbo coup A former National Secretary of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Chief Nduka Eya, said the Biafra issue had been on the lips of everybody even as people had been reacting differently about it. “But why the declaration in the first place? It was because the Igbo are the only Nigerians that accept the country the British put together for us and only the Igbo accepted it as a country of their own. The late Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe fought for it all his life and had to wait for the North to be ready. He was a pan-Africanist. “Then the pogrom came and the coup followed and instead of seeing the coup as involving every nationality, they saw it as an Igbo coup. Biafra came because they were telling us we were not part of the country.” On General Alani Akinrinade’s regret on the fight against Biafra, Eya said: “General Akinrinade is now looking in retrospect. He has found out it was not an Igbo coup. He is right. He now understands what Biafra was all about. Biafra was lost to international conspiracy. Biafra included the entire old Eastern Region, now the South-East and South-South. “The states created by Gowon were to destabilize the region. Now Akinrinade has seen it is true because of the self- determination agitations in some other places. 50 years after, we still cry to know if we are part of Nigeria. We want to be on our own. “Akinrinade is seeing it too late. He fought against Biafra. I urge the Ndigbo to stay calm because it is a constitutional issue.” The Eastern Consultative Assembly, ECA, said the war was still on-going 50 years after the declaration of Biafra and 47 years after the war ended. New battlefield Deputy Leader of ECA, Chief (Mrs) Marie Okwo, told Sunday Vanguard in Enugu that the Federal Government had not stopped fighting the Igbo, adding that the war has now shifted to political and economic marginalisation. “As I have always say, the war has not really ended. It is still on but there is a new battle-field. It is not a conventional war as we are being deprived of our rights both ecomically and politically. We are not given our dues contrary to the Constitution that guides the country. The war is fiercer now than what it was between 1967 and 1970 when the physical war was fought. They should restructure this country. The North think they own Nigeria and that we are their tenants or slaves. This is why the country will continue to be in a mess”. The Igbo Youth Movement, IYM, said it no longer believed in Nigeria as a country for Igbo people. Founder of IYM, Evangelist Elliot Ugochukwu- Uko, said this was why many Igbo people were behind the leader of the Indegenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu, in his efforts to realise the Biafran dream. Ugochukwu-Uko is also the Deputy Secretary, Igbo Leaders of Thought, ILT. His words, “Your question is begging the issue, our reasons are obvious. Our people are behind him simply because he has proved to be devoted, dedicated and committed to freeing our people from the prison called Nigeria. He has also proved that he can make sacrifices for the sake of our people. “You see, Nnamdi Kanu is not the problem of Nigeria, rather the problems of Nigeria threw up Nnamdi Kanu. He and his followers are merely reacting to the wickedness of the system. “On the 29th of July, 1966, 51 years ago, some northern soldiers in their twenties killed then Head of State, General Agwuyi Ironsi, and Col. Fajuyi, then military governor of Western Region, in Ibadan and seized power, led Nigeria through a bloody civil war, carved Nigeria along their whims, created states and local governments, designed the Nigerian Constitution according to their interests and have held Nigeria by the jugular ever since. “They left sorrow, tears and blood, established the Nigerian corrupt political culture and still insist on dictating our future whether we like it or not. “It does not matter to them that the Nigeria they designed is not working, that 20 states cannot pay salaries, that 90 percent of the citizens want Nigeria returned to regional arrangement, that more than half of our population have completely lost faith in Nigeria, and that about one quarter of the population are completely bent on seceding from Nigeria. These soldiers of fortune and their civilian accomplices have continued to resist every plea to restructure Nigeria back to regional autonomy. “Every effort, since Aburi, Ghana 50 years ago, Abacha’s conference 20 two years ago, Obasanjo’s conference 12 years ago and Jonathan’s confab three years ago, has been frustrated, resisted by these small gods, who believe they own Nigeria. Kanu and his followers only represent the voice of the masses who are simply saying ‘We can’t take it anymore’. “Those who destroyed Nigeria and their accomplices, plus those who are in comfort zone are probably the only people who still believe in Nigeria the way it is. The fact that the trio of Buhari, Buratai and Daura of DSS turned Kanu into a hero overnight, simply shows that Kanu’s activism positively resonates with millions of our people. So it is the injustice initiated and condoned by some people that inspired Kanu to embark on a project to free his people from servitude. So, Kanu is not the problem, the problem are those who believe they are born to rule and dominate others perpetually”. Utter neglect The Chairman, South East Caucus of Inter-Party Advisory Council, Chief Emeka Okafor, said what South-East people are going through is horrible. “These are people that almost laid the foundation and built Nigeria with their investments all over the country. They are now utterly neglected in every aspect of the polity,”Okafor said. “After the Biafran war, the ‘No victor no vanquished’ slogan was introduced. But what we have witnessed is a greater level of marginalization. No infrastructure. Look at the state of the Niger Bridge, it is because it is in Igbo land; if it were to be located in other parts of Nigeria, they would have rehabilitated it long time ago. “The Igbo people developed Ogbunigwe during the Biafran era; ordinarily the nation would have tapped into the ingenuity of the people and brushed up what they did. But it was neglected and Nigeria spends billions of Naira procuring arms and ammunition. This great idea was abandoned simply because it was done by Ndigbo. Technicians of first class brains abound in Igbo land who government should have brushed up to get the best that will help in building this nation to where it ought to be, but it is not so.” He, however, urged the Ndigbo to stop talking of leaving Nigeria. He argued that the Ndigbo have about 70 per cent investments in Nigeria and should not abandon their hard earned wealth. Okafor said the Federal Government should, in line with its programme of raising funds for the rebuilding of the North-East, also compensate the Igbo for their loss during the war. “We should remain here to fight and get what is due to us, we are not going anywhere. We have invested a lot in Nigeria,” he added. Reflection AN Igbo leader in Ebonyi State, Chief Abia Onyike, said the reason the North is opposed to the agitation by some Igbo separatist groups is that the success would turn the tide against them economically and politically. Onyike explained that the regret expressed by Akinrinade on Biafra was a reflection of the fact that those who participated in the war against Igbo acted out of ignorance, stressing that it was not the duty of a statesman to fight against those agitating for self-determination. “The expression of regret by Akinrinade is not the first time he will be saying so. He said so in the 1990s when the June 12 election was annulled. It shows that most people who participated in the war against Igbo acted out of ignorance. It is not the duty of a statesman to go about fighting those agitating for self-determination. Even the British have never fought the Irish and Scottish for wanting to secede”, he stated. “Now the Nigerian federation has run into a mortal crisis, no thanks to the unitary system imposed by the Hausa-Fulani-Yoruba military dictators who have held Nigeria hostage for three decades. “The clamour for the restructuring of the federation is an impossibility given the rigid disposition of the Arewa faction of the neo-fascist hegemonic alliance because the Northern leaders see the clamour as an attempt to turn the tide against them. Only a national democratic revolution can resolve the problem by democratizing the centres of feudalism in northern and western Nigeria; otherwise there is no solution to the hydra-headed crisis of this national question.” Source: www.vanguardngr.com/2017/05/biafran-war-veteran-others-lament-50-years-after-nigeria-has-shown-it-is-the-victor-igbo-the-vanquished/ 2 Likes |

Politics / Igbos: The Second Class Citizens Of Yenagoa by KingOvo(m): 9:31am On May 20, 2017 |
In April 2017, Igbo traders took to the streets in
Yenagoa in an unprecedented protest. Something
had rattled them. Three prominent Igbo traders
had been murdered in one month. They suspected
something more sinister than routine armed
robbery and assassination. They put their finger on
xenophobia. The police dismissed the insinuation
and reassured them of their safety. The murders
were unrelated incidents, they said. The traders
took the assurance but remained nervous.
A month later, a man checked into a hotel room in
Yenogoa with his girlfriend. What transpired in that
room has not been fleshed out. The girl was rushed
to a hospital with stab wounds. Two days after, she
died. The boyfriend had sneaked out of the hotel
and has not been seen since then. There are
versions of his story. But the dead lady was
certainly Ijaw, an indigene. The fugitive boyfriend is
an Igbo trader. The story that gained traction on the
streets of Yenagoa was sharp toothed. It was that
an Igbo man had used an Ijaw girl for money-
making ritual.
What followed was unprecedented. Violent mobs
sprouted. Every Igbo man became an actual or
potential criminal. The town convulsed with hate
and chants of ‘Igbo must go.’ Shops belonging to
Igbos in a section of the town were ransacked and
burnt. Igbos squirreled into holes. They weren’t
entirely shocked. They had warned about rising anti
Igbo tensions.
The police and the Army were deployed to contain
the rampaging youths. Naked violence was brought
under control. Wounded Igbos were taken to
hospitals. But the animosity and hate that had been
lit couldn’t be doused by mere law enforcement.
Igbos lived their lives in fear. Ghosts of reprisals
lurked their homes and followed them everywhere.
Their shops remained shut and locked. They were
told, in that section of Yenogoa, to lie low. Leaving
their shops locked was in their own interest. The
nursing of the tempers of their landlords , the Ijaw
indigenes, had to be their immediate priority. They
stayed indoors like sheep while the state struggled
to negotiate with the indigenes their citizenship
rights.
Throughout their ordeal none of the prominent
Azikiwes of Ijaw descent was heard or seen. None
of the surrogates of that political leader who always
flaunted his kinship with the Igbos during elections
was heard. The political tendency that prides itself
as latter-day Igbo ethnic champions was not heard.
They could have at least reminded irate Ijaw youths
a few political debts. The IPOB didn’t bother to
issue a statement even though Yenagoa is within its
description of Biafran jurisdiction. The Igbos in
Yenagoa were left to genuflect, prostrate, worship
Ijaw youths and their anger.
I called a friend of mine who is Ijaw from Bayelsa to
discuss the incident. He was not embarrassed by
the actions of the youths in that town. He
proclaimed that Igbos brought armed robbery to
Yenagoa. I was speechless. But that explained so
much of what was happening on the streets of
Yenogoa. He is enlightened but he subscribes to the
very jaundiced ideas that have bred this
xenophobia.
They believe Igbos are settlers that can be sent
away from Yenogoa. They believe Igbos are
contaminants of Ijaw morality, they are responsible
for much of the evil in the town. And there is one he
didn’t talk about that flows from envy. They believe
that Igbos are usurpers. The corollary is the
ungodly idea that some kind of cleansing is
required. That is why many didn’t find the action of
the youths repugnant. That is a dangerous
situation.
The economy is passing through a turbulence.
There are many jobless youths. In many places in
Nigeria, Igbos dominate street commerce.
Indigenes welcome them but prosperity can breed
envy. When frustrations mount, some of the anger
ordinarily meant for the governments will be
channeled towards the prosperous settler. He will
become the one who has usurped the opportunities
that rightly belonged to the indigenes. That is the
pattern. His crimes are magnified and labeled
affront against the peace and quiet of the indigenes,
by his tribe. That is the reason Nigerians are from
time to time butchered in South Africa.
South Africa has been mismanaged. Joblessness
and frustration have taken over the streets. Some of
the anger naturally must be projected to
immigrants. Nigerians commit crimes like others.
But their crimes are not seen as individual
transgressions of the criminal code but a
corruption of the society, a dilution of morals by a
contaminating and eradicable tribe. Such animosity
can cake into xenophobia. Then xenophobia
seethes like a volcano, splashing lava in its seasons.
That is what erupted in Yenagoa
Where ethnic hate flows freely ethnic profiling must
exist. The sin of one man can be visited on his
tribesmen. It is wrong. Sometimes, a fight between
a Hausa man and a Yoruba man in Idumota could
become a Yoruba versus Hausa world war, in
minutes. But it will die quickly once the fire is put
out, and everyone moves on. That’s a different
thing. Some other times it could linger. If a market
or some other privilege is in contention, the
animosity can endure. But in all such cases the
frictions and flares are localized. There are no
widespread systemic complications. That’s the Ketu
mile 12 scenario. No one tribe rises to demand the
evacuation of the other. The incident in Yenogoa
was different.
The implicated incident was ordinarily too isolated,
too cold to spark such a wide response. That
incident alone couldn’t have fed the mob with such
vengeance. The anger and violence were deployed
with a touch of premeditation. Mere provocation
cannot explain the direction of vengeance towards
all Igbo in a purely criminal matter being handled
by the police. It is interesting that incident could
happen in Yenagoa now.
The civil war put a wedge between the south south
communities and the Igbos. The civil war sowed
deep suspicions. Post civil war, Igbos complained
of more bitterness and resentment in the hands of
the South South communities than the Hausa
Fulani, their supposed enemies. Recently, that
friction appeared to have abated. Since Saro Wiwa
and MOSOP, Igbos have identified with the plight of
the Niger delta and supported their agitations for
resource control. Igbos want equity. And equity
includes resource control and true federalism.
When Jonathan became president, Igbos gave him
more support than his Niger Delta . So it all looked
that the ghosts of the civil war had been banished.
It looked like the South South has switched political
alliance from the north back to the east. It looked
like the shared sense of victimhood was deep and
had birthed a brotherhood. Hate against Hausa
Fulani has been freely spread around those
regions. Once the heart learns hate it can choose
other targets.
Perhaps Yenagoa is a mere blip on the path of that
political alliance. Perhaps, it’s a cautionary
reminder of reality. The wide dispersal of Igbos and
their integration into all communities in the country
is good for national unity. What happened in
Yenagoa is inimical to national unity.

Education / We Have Not Extended 2017 UTME Registration Deadline - JAMB by KingOvo(m): 7:27am On May 20, 2017 |
The Joint Admission and
Matriculation Board (JAMB), has debunked
rumour of extension of the date of registration for
the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination
(UTME).
Dr Fabian Benjamin, the Head of JAMB Information
and Media, dismissed the rumour in a statement
issued to newsmen on Friday in Abuja.
He urged candidates and parents to disregard
rumour of extension of the date of registration.
He said: “the Board has closed registration and there
is no plan to extend the date.
“The registration has not been extended except for
those who had pins but couldn’t register as at May 5,
when we closed registration.
“These categories of Nigerians are allowed to register
and a date will be set aside for them to write their
examination.”
Benjamin explained that the examinations had so far
been conducted for 1,698,835 candidates, adding that
the remaining 19,950 candidates would sit for the
examination on Saturday, May 20.
He said that the board would conclude the ongoing
examination on May 20.
He said that the results of the examination were
being released for candidates to check, except on
Friday and Saturday.
He said that examination results had already been
sent to candidate’s mails and pasted on JAMB
website, adding that candidates could check and print
their result with either their registration number or
with their email address.
He advised candidates with challenges to log onto the
JAMB website: http://www.jamb.org.ng for detailed
information and enquiries. |
