PlayerMeji:
I also have observed same.

That's the reason you will see threads that are basically to derail the body of Christ like 'I am a Christian but I don't want to worship Jesus', 'the reasons I stopped going to church',.. etc.

Liposure:
This is why courtship is advisable before jumping the broom. In the good old days, intending couples bonded without engaging in premarital activities. Back then there was innocence and people could get married as virgins following a decent relationship. Back then marriage never lost its true essence

karkinase:

Bottom line most ppl are psychologically damaged before marriage.

IamWonderful:
Are you saying dating is wrong and how will someone get married if you don't date.

samwash:
Well said, if you tell them to stay away from pre- marital sex, the will tell you how them go take kwn if the partner is fruitful.
How can someone date or co- habits for a whole ten years before finally getting married. That means they have been practicing marriage before married.
After experience everything in marriage before marriage, including giving birth out of wedlock, what else is left?
One of the reasons we experience high rate of infidelity & devoiced rate in marriages today.

Fahdiga:
You won't understand until you get old and no one to look after you

edoairways:

Probably because the press are twisting fact. She has been responding to messages on her Facebook page. When next she come online,ask her

edoairways:

But I ask you to ask the victim, is that too difficult to do?

edoairways:

Did I say I believe her? She allegedly said that deeper life high school officials went to a radio station to give false report. Deeper life hasn't denied that so what do you expect?

edoairways:

Mr lawyer or na journalist, ask her on Facebook as she will give you

edoairways:

. If only you had listened to her plight from day one, you would have been objective rather concluding that she is up to something. You can message on Facebook to know the FM radio at Uyo

edoairways:

Stop this lie. I hate when people tell lies especially from deeper lifer. Didn't you watch where she said that after the meeting, the school officials told a different story on radio station?.

JaneYave:
We know them. Na their way. Fall into trouble then you know you are on your own.The blame will now be on few heads. The day I read Education Secretary address, l knew it will come to this- no passionate appeal or apology of any kind.

JaneYave:
Badness, life business can turn risky ooo.Kai, if only they let go of pride and calmed the woman down. Every school head should learn from this; do what's best when you are to manage a school and humans, get close to the students to know what they are going through. If you fail, the authorities will disown you. You will be on your own entirely.. That's how selfish it will be !

The police in Akwa Ibom State are preparing to arraign some officials of the Deeper Life High School over the alleged sexual abuse of an 11-year-old student of the school in Uyo.

Some officials of the school were said to have been detained after attending a meeting at the police headquarters, Uyo, summoned by the Commissioner of Police, Andrew Amiengheme, PREMIUM TIMES learnt.

David Okokon, lawyer to the parents of the boy said to have been sexually abused by two senior students of the Deeper Life High School, told PREMIUM TIMES, Wednesday morning, he would be in court today for the arraignment.

“They (the police) are arraigning those people found culpable, this morning,” said Mr Okokon who flew into Uyo from Abuja for the case.

It is unclear for now how the police carried out their investigations, the extent of individuals’ culpability and what charges the police would file against the suspects.

The police spokesperson in the state, Odiko MacDon confirmed to PREMIUM TIMES, Wednesday morning, the police were preparing to arraign “those found culpable”.

Mr MacDon, a superintendent of police, also confirmed the arrest and detention of some of the school officials.

“This morning, we are trying to tidy up (investigation), we are dotting our i’s and crossing our t’s,” Mr MacDon said. “If we are not through this morning, they will be arraigned tomorrow.”

PREMIUM TIMES could not immediately reach the Deeper Life High School for their comments. 

Allegations

The victim’s mother, Deborah Archibong, said some senior students of the Deeper Life High School sexually abused her son when the school authorities switched him from his dormitory to another dormitory filled with senior students.

“They will remove his boxer and push their legs and hands into his anus,” Mrs Archibong said in a video which has gone viral on Facebook and Twitter.

“Look at a child I sent to school, he came back with a broken anus,” she added.




Mrs Archibong said her son was frequently starved and beaten up by the senior students.

The Deeper Life High School is owned by a Pentecostal church, The Deeper Christian Life Ministry.

The school trended on Twitter a few days ago over the case, with several Nigerians calling on William Kumuyi, a pastor and founder of The Deeper Christian Life Ministry, to ensure that the victim gets justice.

“We will like to state that Deeper Life High School stands on the core values of integrity and uprightness and will not attempt to cover up any immoral act under any guise,” Thelma Malaka, the school’s education secretary, who spoke through a video uploaded on Twitter, said of the sexual abuse allegation.

“We have unflinching confidence in our God to resolve the issue such that at the end the truth will ultimately prevail,” she said.

The school suspended the principal of the embattled Uyo campus and launched an investigation.

The police on Wednesday were unable to arraign seven suspects arrested over the alleged sexual abuse of 11-year-old student of the Deeper Life High School, Uyo, as the magistrate was not available to listen to the case.

The suspects include two minors, who are senior students of the school, accused of sexually abusing the victim in the school dormitory.

The others are staffers of the school, including a vice principal and a housemaster.

The police prosecutor refused to address the press as the suspects were put inside a bus and taken back to the police headquarters, Ikot Akpan Abia.

Fidelis Igwe, a lawyer to the Deeper Life School, told PREMIUM TIMES he was surprised at the attitude and actions of the police in the case.

“It is disgusting. There are proper ways things should be done,” Mr Igwe said.

“They have not told us anything, we don’t know their offence, we don’t know the charges. Nobody has shown us anything. They told us they were doing investigations, what’s the result of the investigations, what have you got? They have not shown us anything.”

The lawyer said the persons arrested and detained by the police have the constitutional rights to know what offence they are accused of.

“Even the petition written against the Deeper Life High School has not been shown to them (the school authorities) up till now,” the lawyer said.


David Okokon, a lawyer to the victim’s parents, attributed the inability to arraign the suspects to “lack of adequate coordination between the police and the judiciary”.

Mr Okokon, however, said the police should be commended for “swift response”, for bringing the suspects to court without delay.

Nigerianization:
What will it cost the school management to install CCTV in all classrooms and hostel blocks in the school, excluding the rest rooms and bathroom?

That's why i like Synagogue. Even the highway leading to his church has CCTV
