Priest arrested in SWFL to be held without bond

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ddximagPFMw
~~~~~
WACO, Texas (KWTX) - The Waco Police Department on Tuesday announced it is searching for additional survivors who were sexµally assaulted by Father Anthony Odiong, 55, a Catholic priest.

In March of this year, Waco police said they received credible information reporting that the priest - identified as Odiong - had committed a sexµal assault in 2012.
Waco PD said two charges of sexµal assault have been filed against Odiong and eight survivors have been identified so far.

During the investigation, police identified up to five victims and learned Odiong was in possession of child pornography, an arrest affidavit states.

The affidavit states Odiong was using his iPhone and iPad to communicate with the victims and police obtained a search warrant to access Odiong’s iCloud, where they found multiple lewd photos of a girl, the warrant further states.

None of the photos showed the child’s face, however, police estimated the child in the photos was most likely 10 years old, the affidavit states.

Petrol is cheap to buy and import from Malta because most oil companies are aware that it's cheaper to refine and produce Petroleum products in Malta.

If it gets expensive tomorrow, Petrol importers and refiners will go elsewhere. Watch out for Venezuela in few months time.

Absolutely. This is one of the FIRST things that came to my mind when the Trump rally shootings and the identity of the 20-year-old shooter was revealed.

From my personal experience, Samsung phones are very durable and have high resale value after many years of usage.

I just sold my Galaxy A30 I bought in 2019 for 67k. I sold it for 60k, after 4 years of usage, with it's original chargers and accessories. The new owner was glad to get a good Samsung phone for that cheap price.

Osanoghodua1:
Edo has what's called Iyeki (Mother of Market) they only quit at death. Major markets in Benin has a deity, to be the mother of market is not a common feat, one must be spiritual this is why Edo market get as he be.

@Osanoghodua1

Thank you for this information about the Iyeki market leadership custom. It's very CLEAR that the woman market leader in the video was just being paranoid and was making a highly defamatory allegation against Folasade Tinubu who has absolutely NO business with Benin or Edo markets leadership, (except she is invited as a guest to an inauguration ceremony and business networking purposes).

There's also absolutely NO way a female market leader will come into existence WITHOUT the knowledge of the Oba of Benin. This is the custom in the Edo areas. It's shameful that bigots, propagandists and trolls have seized on this to cast aspersions on Folasade Tinubu here on this thread without understanding things from the perspectives you have shared.

Thanks for the insights in your post, and enjoy your day.

https://ait.live/edo-market-women-protest-against-alleged-imposition-of-iyaloja/

This is clearly a FALSE and highly defamatory allegation being made in the video based on paranoia. Why drag Folasade Tinubu who is the Iya Oloja General of Lagos State into this?

There's NO way that a female market leader can come into existence WITHOUT the knowledge of the Oba of Benin. Just like it's done all over Yorubaland, if you are conversant with history, there's usually an Oba's Market close to the palace of every Oba (king) called Oja Oba in Yoruba because from centuries back, commerce and long-distance trading with the Asanti Empire, Mali Empire, Hausaland via the Nupe country, Benin kingdom, etc, and has always been the economic mainstay of the powerful Oyo Empire and other Yoruba kingdoms. This is how Oyo Empire was able to afford to import expensive horses from the North via the Nupe country for the Oyo cavalry which made Oyo Empire to be powerful militarily. Horses had to be constantly replenished because of tsetse fly prevalence centuries back as well.

In Benin City, there is an Oba's Market as well close to the palace because commerce has always been a part of the Benin kingdom (and the Benin Empire), therefore, there is NO way that an outsider in the name of Folasade Tinubu can come and impose someone on Edo Market women. The Oba of Benin usually endorses a new female market leader because NOTHING is done without the knowledge of the palace, so, the allegation from the Edo woman in the video that Folasade Tinubu wants to impose another Edo woman on them is CLEARLY false and Folasade Tinubu should take legal action against this woman for defamation.

When I remember the iconic Etim Esin, I remember "Iwuanyanwu National" of the late 1980s which was the club he played for before he moved to Belgium in the late 1980s for his professional soccer career. I was onboard a wide-bodied Airbus A310 plane with the football team members and other private travellers like me while flying back from the beautiful city of Abidjan, Cote d'Ivoire in 1987.

If the Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu family confirms this, it would mark the end of an era for one of the notable businessmen in Nigerian history.

Properties › Re: Building Collapses At Arowojobe Estate in Maryland, Lagos; 5 Dead (Photos) by Konquest: 5:16pm On Jul 25, 2024*

Throwback:
Did I not warn about that sandfilled swamp called Arowojobe estate, when the Lagos State Government was demolishing houses in that same Mende, Maryland?

Yes you did... I remember that both of us had a convo on that Mende swampland area when I suggested that Lagos State must copy advanced building standards from the State of Florida which has also experienced the same sinking of houses in their reclaimed swamplands and rising ocean waters with flooding of the city centers. I think this sandfilled swamp in Mende, Maryland in Lagos State was done way back in the 1970s or 1980s and would require controlled demolitions, the use of proper pile foundations and water-proof cements in new building constructions if the sandfilled swampland is still going to be used.

Oh yes, there were definitely insights on what to do and not do, what can be appealing and unappealing. I meant what I said, your post was an enjoyable read packing a punch.

You had me LOL @ wifey 2.0. So, you are married after all? You are so cunning with your answers, it reminds me of childhood tales about the tortoise in children's story books. 2nd wives have a way of turning a man's head and rocking his world, did you not see the drama with that popular nairalander (Suraj/Jarus)

I have met some sweet gentlemen in my lifetime whom I wished weren't taken off the market already or whom I privately thought I wouldn't mind having this man as my spouse fa. Men are nit the only ones polygamous in nature, women just restrain themselves more for fear of what will people say and social conditioning from birth.

I think patriarchy is terribly afraid of what will happen if we weren't conditioned and subdued that way. I reckon the fear of raising another man's child gives all of you sleepless nights

Going by the inference of your response, I would like to think that you're not married, yes?

Okay Ms. "Gen Z" Uyai... I strongly think it's been long since you got some real good spanking and naughty corner treatment. *Smirk*

I gave clear hints in that feedback (even though I used general terms) because I wanted to show that MOST long-term marriages that lead to toxic, unintended consequences emanate right from the "dating phase" when RED FLAGS get ignored. It seems pretty obvious, but a lot of young ones overlook this fact again and again and get burned in the process. As an older man who is also a Gen X, I can tell that this is a fact.

The feedback is noted.

K-quest, it is going well. I enjoyed reading your post, it's loaded with valuable information.

Your feedback is appreciated as well, like LR your maturity prompted the mention. You answered the question like you are not married though, I thought you were.

If you are not, come let us get hitched. You know we have the same love language we will be explosive together.......I think.

@Klass, my pleasure... I'm glad you gained some insights here. I wrote my feedback based off of the fact that I wanted to connect with you and a few readers (who have the eyes to discern things) on the elemental level and NOT just married folks. That's why I spoke in "general terms" while giving hints in my feedback.

I had a hunch before posting that first feedback that the tone could likely come off as if I wasn't married but I actually wanted to point out the FACT that a lot of the "challenges and problems" that married folks face start off during the "dating phase" due to the tendency for always overlooking the "negative personality behaviors" and RED FLAGS. When the red flags are NOT ignored, then a long-term relationship with someone that is your type will lead to near-absolute peace in marriage.

As to the last part, I don't know if being a "wifey 2.0" is your thing? But I get the thrust of what you're feeling.

I'll be going offline in a few minutes.

I enjoyed your feedback here. wink

Talk to you soon.

But "I-told-you-so" doesn't mean she's completely fallen out on trusting you.🙂 it could mean, next time, trust my judgement on this context.

MsFaith,

I CLEARLY stated that if a wife/woman throws the "I-told-you-so" repeatedly and sarcastically in your face without empathy, then that'll be considered toxic, and it's one of the things about women that men constantly say drives them up the wall. Of course, NEXT time when a man is going to take a decision that'll affect his finances and family, he'll trust her judgement and try to get some fresh perspectives from her. But that won't happen if she's the type that is always aggressive and sarcastic.

This is an interesting topic MsFaith. I would like to know and see sincerity in the comments too.

Konquest & LordReed, I am particularly interested in your thoughts on this. Please do share if you don't mind.

Hey Klass, how's it going?

So, generally speaking, there are many variables that can make a man to like (and love) his woman or spouse. It's a confluence of events and NOT just one aspect. A woman can be beautiful (on a scale of 9 out of 10) but if she isn't a good communicator and is BORING or is a stalker, then that's a red flag for me to ditch her either while dating or after marriage if she doesn't drop her insecurities. I would rather co-parent with her than to live under the same roof with her. Beauty in a woman alone has NEVER been enough with me.

For me, I'll say that since I'm a very visual person (who loves abstract art works as well), neat dressing, physical looks and personal fitness in my woman matter to me, but the most important thing is the intelligence of a woman and kindness OR genuine emphathy towards others. Those unique qualities in a woman are VERY sexy and attractive especially in a woman who is intentional and has personal goals of her own.

I also DON'T like a woman who is a doormat and who CANNOT hold functional conversations on a wide range of issues (without overtly making reference to the stereotypical animated female talk on make-ups, beefing other females, etc). Some narcissistic guys like the idea of a wife or spouse who is a "complete doormat," but NOT me because that's BORING. I like a wife who can have an opinion WITHOUT rubbing it in your face with the "I-told-you-so-attitude" when you make an investment mistake, which can be such a turn-off! So, yeah, a woman who isn't a "daddy's girl" and brings in a lot of "emotional drama and blackmail" while in the dating phase must be ditched ASAP so that she doesn't constitute a nuisance in marriage for any man.

I hope this helps.

Enjoy the rest of your day Klass.

Ciao. wink

Bobby4090:
Dangote paid 100m dollars in 2017 to purchase the land in Lekki. The exchange rate then was around 350 so he paid equivalent of N35 billion for the land in Lekki. Land that's 7 times the size of Victoria Island.

He got it very very cheap and even he Dangote himself acknowledged that Lagos gave him a very good bargain in the speech he made last week.

Succinctly stated.
Indeed, the Ibeju-Lekki land that Dangote paid for within the Lekki Free Trade Zone (LFTZ) is truly 7 times BIGGER than Victoria Island in Lagos State. I was going to make this same point here after reading right from page 1 the HIGHLY insidious and ignorant posts on this thread making reference to the 100 million USD Dangote paid.

I don't post all the time, but It's refreshing to reaffirm again that many well-informed NL members like you still exist that can counter the deliberate misinformation and negativity of the well-known insidious trolls and bigots here.
